Real-world examples and engaging activities guide readers in learning about measuring volume. Readers practice selecting appropriate measuring tools and units of measurement, converting between units, and solving problems by measuring.
Volume is the amount of space a liquid takes up in a container. This engaging book takes a look at how to measure volume and why its useful. Whether using the displacement method or simple containers marked with measurements, there are many different ways to measure liquids. Readers will learn to measure volume in both U.S. and International measurements to further their learning and ensure they can measure volume no matter what kind of container they use.

Measuring and Visualizing Space in Elementary Mathematics Learning explores the development of elementary students’ understanding of the mathematics of measure, and demonstrates how measurement can serve as an anchor for supporting a deeper understanding of number operations and rational numbers. The concept of measurement is centrally implicated in a number of mathematical operations, yet is not often given the placement it deserves in the elementary mathematics curriculum. By drawing on K-5 classroom research, authors Lehrer and Schauble have been able to articulate a learning progression that describes benchmarks of student learning about measure in length, angle, area, volume, and rational number, exploring related concepts, classroom experiences, and instructional practices at each stage. Offering a unique, research driven resource for helping students develop a deep understanding of measurement to further enhance mathematical understanding, as well as further learning in other STEM disciplines; the book will be relevant for scholars, teacher educators, and specialists in math education. The book is accompanied by online resources developed for practitioners, including instructional guides, examples of student thinking, and other teacher-focused materials, helping clarify how to bring concepts of measure and rational number to life in classrooms.
