In this paper, we will discuss the process of the signification of the concept of measurement based on research conducted to investigate the existing relations between the logical-historical development and the mode of appropriation of the concept of measurement based on the Cultural-Historical Theory/Activity Theory and Teaching Guided Activity. The empirical work was conducted with the collaboration of 21 teachers who teach mathematics in public schools. The analyses were based on the results of the following actions: a) Formative Experiment with theoretical and practical studies; investigation of social practices related to measurements in the fields, b) elaboration, execution, and evaluation of didactic experiments performed with elementary school students. We conclude that in the objectivation of the teaching of the concept of measurement, the process of signification reflects the mode of appropriation of its logical-historical development by the subject and depends on the sharing of cultural meanings underlying the measures acquired in the context of particular social practices of different collectivities, pointing to the need to consider, in the teaching praxis. These different mathematical and symbolic systems govern such practices in the cultural environment of the students.
