Abstract

In this session we provide a variety of tasks to enhance student learning of length measure. We examine meaning of length as an attribute and ways of quantifying length. We will explore length measurement with a variety of tasks that will push us (and our students) to think about aspects of measurement, such as filling a space without leaving gaps or overlaps.
