Macro
(A): (4.9.1, 4.9.2, 4.9. 3, 4.9.4, 4.9.5, 4.9.6)
Select and use appropriate non-standard and standard
units of measure to describe, compare, and order various
quantities.
Knowledge: (4.9.1, 4.9.2, 4.9. 3, 4.9.4, 4.9.5,
4.9.6)
The student should have a conceptual understanding
of:
1. Measurable attributes
a. length, distance, area, volume
b. capacity, weight, time, temperature
2. Non-standard units of measure
3. Standard units of measure
a. all customary units (excluding bushel
and peck)
b. all metric units (excluding deka- and hecto-)
4. Personal referents that approximate standard units
of measure
The student should be able to:
5. Recognize the need for a standard unit
of measure.
6. Use rulers, scales, thermometers, and clocks to accurately
measure length, weight, temperature, and time.
Problem-Solving Skills:
