Abstract
The students learning about food in the Home-making Education class are required to have definite conception of quantity if they are to get practical ability in daily life. In spite of the fact that measuring is an essential to carry out a daily life, Japanese are regarded to be lacked to apply measuring technique for the daily life. We investigated the students in various school-level, and examined to what extend they have the sense of measuring in length, capacity and weight in order to get data for placing measurement as the basic technique in class work. As a result we found that students have good sense of length, but they have extremely poor sense of capacity and weight. We also noticed that the progress in the sense of measuring can be seen as the grade proceed among the schools. Therefore we could get a hint that we must train students in learning by using measures as frequently as possible so that they can cultivate the sense of quantity and have definite cognition of quantity.
