Abstract

This paper describes our efforts for exploring students’ thinking of Dynamic Measurement for Volume (DYME-V), an approach to volume measurement that engages students in dynamic experiences of extruding surfaces to create 3-D objects and assists students in reasoning about volume as a continuous quantity that depends on the size of the surface being extruded and the height of the extrusion.
