Description:
This paper reports the final results and recommendations of a two-year-long exploratory DR K–12 project addressing a measurement approach to prekindergarten students’ development of quantitative reasoning. This approach is based on measurement concepts and algebraic design of the prenumeric stage of instruction found in the successful Elkonin–Davydov elementary mathematics curriculum from Russia.
