Conclusions

Measurement is an aspect of mathematics that has to be taught in all stages of Primary Education, starting with simple notions and examples such as non-conventional and the Metric System, or the time and monetary units. With the development of students’ abilities these concepts are dealt more in-depth and with some operations and estimations to obtain results.

More or less the same happens with statistics and probability, although these two concepts are carried out more in the higher years of Primary Education, combined with a lot of visual information.

As we have seen, there are many examples and activities in which these elements appear ant that are different ways of showing and teaching measurement, statistics and probability. It is very important that we fuse theoretical knowledge with games, curiosities or practical activities in order to achieve a good learning.

Have fun and mathematics everywhere!
