Geometry: Spatial Sense and Measurement

 

PrNMeasurement, a foundation skill for geometry, is an essential life skill. It is not an end in itself, but a tool used in many contexts: home, work, and community. Awareness of acceptable tolerances, margins and upper and lower limits, is critical to measurement competence. Today, much is computerized, but the results are only as good as the information inputted. Visualization and concrete models help reasoning in this area.
