Measurement is a major topic in elementary school mathematics, appearing in every grade from one through eight. The importance of measurement is indicated not only by its wide application in everyday life, but also because its basic ideas are studied in mathematics classes through the graduate level of the university. Despite the wide applicability of measmcment and its continuous appearance in the curriculum, there is a great gulf between how the practical man measures, reports his measurements, and judges their preciseness, and the mathematician's convention for dealing with measurements.

Future Work

The elementary school mathematics teacher has an important job—that of laying the foundation for his pupils' future work in mathematics. However, in his efforts to teach mathematics so that children understand the concepts behind their work, there may be a tendency to overlook the fact that all ideas in mathematics cannot be justified. The very nature of mathematical thought is such that there are some basic ideas we must agree to accept.

This is the eleventh of a series of annual listings of research concerned with elementary school mathematics. During the very important period of change in elementary mathematics education from 1957 to 1966 the summaries were compiled by Dr. J. Fred Weaver of the University of Wisconsin.1 We hope that this listing will prove to be as valuable as the previous ones.2

Future Work

Administrators want the best educational program for their schools, and they want parents to support that program. Parents want the very best for their children in everything, including mathematics education. They remember arithmetic as the mainstay of elementary school mathematics and want their children to acquire the computational skills that they see as necessary for everyday life and future work.

Basic Ideas

Geometry is an important, excitig part of elementary school mathematics. Children can be involved in relating mathematics to shapes in their environment. The activities described here suggest one way to help children develop some basic ideas about simple closed shapes, angles, and triangles. By constructing models of geometric shapes and physically transforming those models, children can examine the changes that occur with a transformation. This can help organize and synthesize thinking about basic geometric concepts. It can also serve as a foundation and a springboard for activities involving the use of a ruler, compass, or protractor.

The Subject

Many reasons have been given for the inclusion of more geometry in the lower grades. Certainly, geometry is an important subject in its own right, and as certainly, it is un realistic to postpone the study of geometry until it can be approached in a systematic and rigorous way. (Precision and rigor can best be appreciated when we understand what we are being precise and rigorous about.) lt is also true that geometry is encountered in everyday life, and that children do find the subject interesting. What has not often been pointed out is that geometry can extend and enrich the study of arithmetic.

Important Field

Analysis of mathematics subject matter in elementary school is a very important field of study taught at every level of education. The 2013 curriculum separates the field of mathematics studies from themes so that this field of study is a subject that stands alone. Through mathematics subject matter taught in elementary school can train students to think critically, rationally, logically, innovatively so that they have competitiveness. As for the problems discussed from the subject matter in elementary school mathematics which is seen from the suitability of the teacher's book and the student's book, in this case it discusses: 1) the scope of mathematics material grade 3rd elementary school, 2) the characteristics of mathematics subject matter in elementary school, 3) the relevance in elementary school mathematics subject matter to the scientific structure, namely student character, HOTS, 4C skills, literacy numeracy, digital literacy, financial literacy and character education, 4) learning innovation based on integration-interconnection in accordance with the science of development and technology and the needs of the community in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0.
