Authors:
- The book describes learning-teaching trajectories for measurement and geometry
- The authors stress that measurement education should focus on helping students to understand the metric system, not on the memorization of conversion rules
- Geometry is characterized by a great diversity of subtopics; the book may help to structure education in this field

About this book
The focus of this book is on measurement and geometry in the upper grades of primary education. Measurement and geometry are important topics which perhaps do not get the emphasis they deserve. They build, in a manner of speaking, a bridge between everyday reality and mathematics. Measurement concerns the quantification of phenomena; consequently, it makes these phenomena accessible for mathematics. Geometry establishes the basis for understanding the spatial aspects of reality.
