Standard 2: Measurement

Resources

Benchmark

Indicator

  

A.   Explain the need for standard units of measure.

B.   Select appropriate units for length, weight, volume (capacity) and time using:

    Objects (e.g., non-standard units)

    U.S. customary units: inch, foot, yard, ounce, pound, cup, quart, gallon, minute, hour, day, week and year

    Metric units: centimeter, meter, gram and liter

1.   Identify and utilize appropriate units of measure for:

    Length – centimeters, meters, inches, feet, or yards

    Volume (capacity) – liters, cups, pints, or quarts

    Weight – grams, ounces or pounds and be able to read, write and apply the word

    Time – hour, half-hours, quarter-hours, or minutes and time designations, a.m. or p.m.

  

C.   Develop common referents for units of measure for length,          weight, volume (capacity) and time to make comparisons and           estimates.

1.   Establish personal or common referents for units of measure

      to make estimates and comparisons (e.g., the width of a

      finger is a centimeter, a large bottle of soda pop is 2 liters,

      a small paper clip weighs about one gram.

2.   Tell time to the half hour and quarter hour using analog and            digital clocks.

3.   Tell time to the nearest minute interval on digital and to the            nearest 5 minute interval on analog (dial) timepieces.

  

D.   Apply measurement techniques to measure length, weight and          volume (capacity).

1.   Estimate and measure the length and weight of common        objects, using metric and U.S. customary units, accurate to the             nearest unit.

2.   Select and use appropriate measurement tools (e.g., a ruler

      to draw a segment 3 inches long, a measuring cup to place

      2 cups of rice in a bowl, a scale to weigh 50 grams of candy.

  

E.   Recognize that using different units of measurement will yield   different numbers for the same measurement.

1.   Describe and compare the relationships among units of   measure, such as centimeters and meters; inches, feet and

      yards; cups, pints and quarts; ounces and pounds; and hours,

      half-hours, and quarter-hours; (e.g., how many inches in a

      foot).

2.   Apply and test predictions about measurements, using

      different units to measure the same length or volume.
