Analyzing Curricular Coverage of Volume Measurement: A Comparative Analysis

• In Event: 35.077 - MTCC Roundtable Session 13
  In Roundtable Session: 35.077-8 - Improving Mathematics Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning: Focus on Volume and Surface Area

Abstract

In this study, we examined and compared volume and volume-related lessons in two common core aligned American textbook series and Korean elementary textbooks. Our results showed that both countries' textbooks only provide limited
attention to volume lessons and that learning challenges are not well addressed in
these textbooks.
