Standard 2: Measurement

Resources

Benchmark

Indicator

 

A.   Select appropriate units to measure angles, circumference,   surface area, mass and volume using:

    U.S. customary units (e.g., degrees, square feet, pounds, and other units as appropriate)

    Metric units (e.g., square meters, kilograms, and other units as appropriate

B.   Convert units of length area, volume, mass, and time within the same measurement system.

1.   Determine which measure (perimeter, area, surface area and volume) matches the context for a problem situation (e.g., perimeter is the context for fencing a garden, surface are is the context for painting a room).

  

C.   Identify appropriate tools and apply appropriate techniques for measuring angles, perimeter or circumference and area of triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and composite shapes, and surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders.

1.   Use strategies to develop formulas for finding circumference and area of circles, and to determine the area of sectors (e.g., 1/2 circle, 2/3 circle, 1/3 circle, ¼ circle).

2.   Estimate perimeter or circumference and area for circles,         triangles and quadrilaterals, and surface area and volume for prisms and cylinders by:

    Estimating lengths using string or links, areas using tiles or grid, and volumes using cubes

    Measuring attributes (diameter, side lengths, or heights) and using established formulas for circles, triangles, rectangles, parallelograms and rectangular prisms

 

E.   Use problem solving techniques and technology as needed to solve problems involving length, weight, perimeter, area, volume, time and temperature.

1.   Determine which measure (perimeter, area, surface area and volume) matches the context for a problem situation (e.g., perimeter is the context for fencing a garden, surface are is the context for painting a room).

 

F.   Analyze and explain what happens to area and perimeter or surface area and volume when the dimensions of an object are changed.

1.   Describe what happens to the perimeter and area of a two-dimensional shape when the measurements of the shape are changes (e.g., length of sides are doubles).

  

G.  Understand and demonstrate the independence of perimeter and area for two-dimensional shapes and of surface area and volume for three-dimensional shapes.

1.   Understand and describe the difference between surface area and volume.

2.   Assess the difference between perimeter and area, and demonstrate that two shapes may have the same perimeter, but different areas or may have the same area, but different perimeters.
