Welcome to "Measuring our world"!

Hello everyone!

My name is Adrián Ariza and I’m twenty-two years old. I’m a student of the fourth year of Primary Education Degree in a bilingual modality at the University of Málaga. I’ve created this blog as a new didactic space to share different ideas, activities and resources related to didactics of measurement. My objective is to see Maths as an enjoyable subject that allows children to learn, but also to play, discover and have fun at the same time.

In the following entries, we will see several aspects of measurement which has drawn our attention during the course, such as didactic tools, curiosities, etc. regarding their didactic application for our lessons.

Measurement is more than measuring a distance or an object. Almost all the aspects of our life can be measured, including feelings! For this reason, we consider that this subject is essential for children, but also for teachers, who need to know how to introduce the different aspects to the learners. “Measuring our world” is a reference to the presence of measurement in any part of our life and, consequently, our world. We are surrounded by measurable items and maybe we are not aware of it. So, let’s have a look!

I hope you find my blog interesting and useful to teach measurement dynamically and attractively. Don’t forget to share your comments or ideas!

Thanks a lot!
