Juan Wu; Huiting Jiang; Lifei Long; Xueying Zhang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
As an important branch of mathematics, geometry plays a very significant role in developing students' thinking, but many students need to improve their geometric thinking abilities, especially in understanding graphics and forms. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore techniques and methods for developing students' geometric thinking, and…

Barrett, Jeffrey E.; Clements, Douglas H. – Cognition and Instruction, 2003
This article describes how children build increasingly abstract knowledge of linear measurement, emphasizing ways they relate space and number. Assessments indicate children struggle to understand measurement, especially concepts related to complex paths as in perimeter tasks. This article draws on developmental accounts of children's knowledge of…
