Abstract	The focus of this study was to investigate primary school students' achievement in the domain of measurement. We analyzed a large-scale data set (N = 6,638) from German third and fourth graders (8- to 10-year-olds). These data were collected in 2007 within the framework of the ESMaG (Evaluation of the Standards in Mathematics in Primary School) project carried out by the Institute for Educational Quality Improvement (IQB) at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. The data were interpreted using a classification scheme based on a conceptual-procedural distinction in measurement competence. The analyses with this classification revealed that grade, gender, and in particular figural reasoning ability are significantly related to overall measurement competence as well as on the sub-competencies of Instrumental knowledge and Measurement sense. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings of this study for teaching and assessing measurement.
