You are not alone if the idea of teaching measurement makes you uncomfortable;
after all, doesn't everyone know how to measure? We selected these resources to
help you refresh your approach to teaching measurement.
Feel like you need a little review? This free online course examines critical
concepts related to measurement. The 10 sessions feature video lessons,
activities, and online demonstrations to review procedures used in conducting
measurements, along with other topics such as the use of nonstandard
measurement units, precision and accuracy, and the metric system. Circles,
angles, volume formulas, and relationships between units of measurement are
also explored. The final session presents case studies that help you examine
measurement concepts from the perspective of your students. MSP full record
