EDUX 7190. This course is one of five Learning Math workshops for elementary and middle school teachers (K-8) organized around the content standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). It examines some of the major ideas in measurement. Participants will explore procedures for measuring and learn about standard units in the metric and customary systems, the relationships among units, and the approximate nature of measurement. Learners will also examine how measurement can illuminate mathematical concepts such as irrational numbers, properties of circles, and area and volume formulas, and discover how other mathematical concepts can inform measurement tasks such as indirect measurement. The course consists of ten sessions, the last of which participants choose their specific grade level to explore ways to apply the concepts of measurement they have learned during the course in their own classroom.
