Lindsay, Margaret; Scott, Amanda – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2005
The authors discuss mass as one of the three fundamental measurements (the others being length and time), noting that estimation of mass is little taught and assessed in primary schools. This article briefly explores the reasons for this in terms of culture, practice, and the difficulty of assessing estimation of mass. An activity using the…
