Direct linkJones, M. Gail; Gardner, Grant E.; Taylor, Amy R.; Forrester, Jennifer H.; Andre, Thomas – School Science and Mathematics, 2012
This study examined students' accuracy of measurement estimation for linear distances, different units of measure, task context, and the relationship between accuracy estimation and logical thinking. Middle school students completed a series of tasks that included estimating the length of various objects in different contexts and completed a test…

Peer reviewedClements, Douglas H. – School Science and Mathematics, 1999
Describes several studies that challenge conventional wisdom regarding the teaching and learning of nonstandard and standard unit, rulers, and measurement sense. Discusses the educational implications of their results. (Author/CCM)

Peer reviewedFyffe, Darrel W. – School Science and Mathematics, 1978
This study was conducted to determine whether or not elementary teachers are prepared to teach the metric system. The data show that scholars are neither well equipped nor staffed for the teaching of the metric system. (MP)

Peer reviewedTodd, Robert M., Ed.; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1978
The metric unit for almost any physical quantity is shown to be defined in terms of one or more of nine elemental units raised to various powers. (MP)

Peer reviewedBrumbaugh, Douglas K.; Hynes, Michael C. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
This activity, for grades 7-12, requires students to lay out an arena for training horses. To do this the students compute the sum of metric linear measures, compute the circumference of circles and semi-circles, and use the Pythagorean Theorem. (BB)

Peer reviewedChipley, Donald R.; Trueblood, Cecil R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
The purpose of the study reported in this article was to determine what assistance elementary educators could derive from certain educational journals and state departments of education to meet the challenge of metric conversion. Survey findings showed that elementary educators can expect a limited amount of help from both sources. (DT)

Peer reviewedAichele, Douglas B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
Three examples are presented which involve constructions employing a compass, a centimeter ruler, and a calculator. Employing mathematical tools to support understanding and discovery of mathematical principles is viewed as being clearly a desire of mathematics educators, but it is felt such tools are not frequently used to their fullest.

Peer reviewedConnelly, Ralph D.; Smith, Brenda – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Provides historical development of units of length, weight, and temperature. Stresses the simplicity of similar units in the metric system. (CP)
