Unit 7: measurement
In this unit students will:
● investigate what it means to measure length, weight, volume, time, and angles
● understand how to use standardized tools to measure length, weight, volume, time, and angles
● understand how different units within a system (customary and metric) are related to each other
● know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz; l, ml; hr, min, sec.
● solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals.
● make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, ¼, 1/8)
● solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots
● apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems.
● Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement
● Measure angles in whole number degrees using a protractor
● Recognize angle measurement as additive and when an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts.
* Please have your child practice their multiplication facts at home each night. It is important that they feel confident with their facts so they do not fall behind in class!!!
