We hope you will find this site helpful as you explore children's thinking about geometric measurement. Our work has privileged us to learn firsthand of children's curiosity, energy, and drive to make sense of the mathematical world of shapes and numbers.
The pages here describe our findings in terms of the learning trajectories, and we include links to our papers and conference presentations. We look forward to seeing how these ideas are extended and elaborated as researchers, teachers, publishers and professional development leaders continue the exploration of children's thinking and strategies for measurement.

We published a book of Measurement Activities and Tasks for Teaching K-5 Topics related to our work with learning trajectories on length, area and volume, as well as some work on time and angle.
