The Transformation of Natural to Geometrical Concepts, Concerning Children 5-7 Years Old. The Case of Measuring Surfaces.

Zacharos, Konstantino; Ravanis, Konstantin

European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v8 n2 p63-72 2000

Investigated the potentialities of teaching the concept of measuring surfaces to primary school children. Children tested in covering the surface of an object using socially significant materials (e.g., cardboard rectangles vs. car pictures and a drawing of a parking lot) were found to complete the task at ages younger than expected.
