Abstract

Mathematics learning in preschool is not always related to addition and subtraction. It is also includes measurement. This study aims to measure the ability to take measurements using standard measurement tools which include categorizing the size of objects, the size of objects, and showing how to measure objects. The study was conducted on 100 preschool children by giving five times treatment using standardized measurement tools with different levels of difficulty in each treatment. Research shows that there is an increase in categorizing objects, identifying the size of objects, and shows how to measure standardized tools in each treatment. Based on the response of preschool children, they really like measuring activities using standard measurement tools.
