Do your students have “concept images” that limit their ideas
of shapes to specific examples, oriented in particular ways? Do
they confuse the size of an angle with the length of the rays in a
drawing of an angle? When solving problems, do they mix up the
concepts of perimeter—the distance around a shape, measured in
linear units—and area—the region within the shape, measured in
square units? What tasks can you offer—what questions can you
ask—to determine what they know or don’t know—and move them
forward in their thinking? This book focuses on the specialized
pedagogical content knowledge that you need to teach geometry and
measurement effectively in grades 3–5. The authors demonstrate
how to use this multifaceted knowledge to address the big ideas and
essential understandings that students must develop for success
with geometry and measurement—not only in their current work, but
also in higher-level mathematics and a myriad of real-world
contexts. Explore rich, research-based strategies and tasks that
show how students are reasoning about and making sense of geometry
and measurement. Use the opportunities that these and similar tasks
provide to build on their understanding while identifying and
correcting misunderstandings that may be keeping them from taking
the next steps in learning. Putting Essential Understanding of
Geometry and Measurement into Practice in Grades 3–5 is the
eighth title in NCTM’s highly useful and very readable Putting
Essential Understanding into Practice Series, edited by Barbara J.
Dougherty. Each volume in the series builds on the companion volume
in the earlier Essential Understanding Series to show teachers how
to implement their understanding of mathematics in the classroom.
