Description of Presentation:

This symposium features four studies investigating elementary grades students’ sense of space and measure. Conceptions of space and measure are pivotal to many core mathematical ideas, and learning environments carefully designed around an exploration of space also afford opportunities for students to engage in key mathematical practices. We explore ways in which space and measure serve to expand children’s and teachers’ mathematical experiences when instructional design capitalizes on children’s resources for learning.
