The measurement of time has and still does play such a massive role in modern society that it requires a much further breakdown and analysis: Sundial As mentioned before the easiest way to track time is to record the movement of the sun across the sky.

Water Clock Known as the clepsydra to the Greeks, the water clock attempts to measure time by tracking the amount of water that drips into a basin or tank. Hourglass The hourglass uses the same principle as the water clock, but instead of water, it utilizes sand. The hour during the 14th century During the 14th century fragmenting the length of a day into hours was much akin to solving a math problem The day was divided into 12 segments because the number 12 can be divided by 2, 3, and 4.

Minutes and seconds in the 14th — 16th century Distinguishing the 24 hours in a solar cycle alone was no longer satisfactory as the 14th century continued to progress. Capacitive sensor Principle In the modern era, capacitors are used to make a variety of measurements. General applications for a capacitive sensor include: Liquid level detection The AS delivers nanometer level resolution for ultra-high-precision measurements Counting Material level control Induction molding process Capacitive probes are also extremely reliable because of their durability.

Conclusion Unified measuring systems have brought humankind together. We use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.

That is all I am going to reveal. This video gives you an opportunity to practice what you have learned and reflect on it. Analyze and interpret what Maya the Elder does.

Does she understand the role of the base? Can she insert a stick in the right place? Can she fix mistakes? Can she select the smallest of all those remaining in order to find the largest stick of the staircase already constructed?

Can she explain what she has done and why? You figure it out. When you see the interesting thinking of a child at the age of about four, you might forget about its origins just a year or so earlier. When you look closely at them, you can see dividing lines suggesting that each stick is separated into what appear to be individual cubes attached to one another. In math talk, we might say that the rectangular prism shows square faces adjacent to one another on the four surfaces.

This arrangement gives the appearance of cubes connected to one another. At the outset of this episode, Ethan has already built a staircase with six sticks. I then ask Ethan to find the next stick without counting.

He selects the red stick and looks at it very intensely, obviously trying to count. He asks whether it is OK to count and is told that it is not. Then he takes the red stick and taps the squares in sequence, again obviously counting, which he denies! After doing the interview, my first reaction was that I had failed to get Ethan to engage in the problem I was interested in, namely whether he could use methods other than counting to solve the problem.

I wanted him to do the Piaget seriation task. But on reflection, I realized that he was instead telling me that he was interested in precise measurement drawing upon the standard units the square faces provided by the sticks. He could have solved the problem more easily by visual comparison, for example just by holding up the red stick next to the orange.

Even so, he was interested in exact measurement, even though I was not. Advice to interviewers: Avoid imposing your perspective on the child! His refusal to play my game turns out to be a blessing in disguise because now I can show in this paper how non-counting seriation can lead to and be replaced by exact measurement. At the outset of the video, Ethan has constructed a very neat tower and I ask what comes next.

He counts the number of cubes, gets nine for the black and eight for the red. He places the eight at the taller end of the staircase.
