Abstract:
The present study deals with teaching the concept and measurement of area. 106subjects of the 6th grade of Greek Elementary School measured the area ofdifferent kinds of shapes. The subjects were divided into two groups, anexperimental group and a control group. In the experimental group, area evaluationwas taught in a way that highlighted the conceptual characteristics of areameasurement. The teaching intervention and the use of different measurementtools led to different measurement strategies. Moreover, the experimental groupused more successful strategies than the control group.
