How Do You Measure Up

HELLO! 

Today I'm going to show you an interesting video about measure learning. The video shows a game called "How do you measure up". It is in English. 

This video is about the measuring in real life. Also it appears a lot of definitions about measurement (weight, speed,...) which are adapted to the first levels of the school. 

mathematics in social networks

Hey! 

Today I'm going to show you some Instagram profiles that belong to teachers of primary education, who share the resources they use daily in their classroom. 

I think this post is quite useful since today all of us manage social networks and it is interesting to follow what we can learn a lot. 

My favourite profile of Instagram related to the measurement is: @profesorademates (click here). It is a teacher who share a lot of activities and resources that she use in her class. 

In addition, we have: @unprofeconclase (click here), @laclasedebenitoybego (click here) and @recursosaula (click here). They are three profiles of Instagram too. They are more general, not only about measurement. They have material about other subjects too, but they are very interesting because the teachers of these profiles belongs to different stages of primary education so we can find resources of measurement to all the courses. 

To conclude, I want to say that all of these teachers use an active and innovative methodology so all of their activities are creative and original. 

 (If you know other profiles, please tell me in the comments)

getting started in the learning of the lenght

Hello everyone!

Today, I want to share with you a video related to the initiation to lenght measurements. Two teachers present a resource they use with children of fourth year (pre-school education), so it is initiation.

I think it is very interesting because with only one resource they work a lot of diferent definitions and characteristics of lenght, like horizontal, vertical, diagonal, small, big, medium-sized, the order,...

In this topic students often have many errors, so it is essential to work with different games and visual materials, so that when they learn new concepts are not confused.

Why that title?

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!

I want to release this blog explaning the meaning of the title I have chosen - LEARNING MEASUREMENT by doing.

First of all, "learning measurement".  I think it is quite clear, in each of the publications I am going to talk about any topic related to teaching-learning of the measure in primary education (methodologies, games, tools,...), and also of other aspects about the measuring.

For the other hand, why "by doing"????? well, Learning by doing is a kind of method that basically consist of learning by doing. It means that learning must be practical and relevant (based on experiences), not passive and theoretical. I think the measurement is an area that can be very related with this approach, so in my publications I am going to forget the traditional methodology and to talk about this alternative one.
