Assistance requested: I am trying to come up with a big essential question for why students should learn about area, volume, and modelling with ratios.
An example would be using statistics to look at what "fairness" means.
I am drawing a blank for meaurement though. What I've got in rough terms: it can be about being precise with accurate representations of the world? Something to do with construction??? Purchasing/making stuff accurrately?? But it needs to have this big, meaty, weighty question. Why matters? Analysis used for? Long term gain beyond recall or direct application of formulas?
