Resumen
This paper explores measurement knowledge that middle-graders from low-income families gain from out-of-school contexts and the implications of such knowledge for classroom learning. Work and other out-of-school contexts entail rich and diverse “funds of knowledge” about measurement. Such knowledge includes conceptual elements which may be fragmented or hidden, but if unpacked (archaeology) can support classroom learning. The out-of-school measurement-related experiences have been analyzed to show the underlying conceptual constructions and their diversity in terms of measures, systems of units, and measurement tools. The paper discusses possible connections between classroom learning and specific aspects of out-of-school measurement knowledge using a characterization that marks such connection.
