Peer reviewedYvon, Bernard R.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
The process of metrication is seen ultimately to require a grass-roots movement to change traditional behavior patterns. The creation of metric leaders is viewed as a tool for speeding the process of acceptance. A model for the design and execution of leader-training sessions is detailed. (MP)

Peer reviewedOlson, Judith; Olson, Melfried – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
A series of situations is suggested incorporating hands-on activities involving concrete experiences with measurement. It is felt that the activities used to teach mathematics and science at the Middle School level need to be specifically suited for the young adolescent. Extensions are possible for in-depth investigations for more advanced…
