Math Resources for the Week of April 23 – 26, 2018 (Measurement)

The Big Idea:  This week, we will begin talking about MEASUREMENT.  Here are the specifics:

• Understand measurement benchmarks, like the width of a door is about a yard.
• Determine a reasonable measure with the customary and metric systems.
• Understand how to convert measurements in the metric system.
• Understand how to convert measurements in the customary system.
• Solve word problems with measurements.

How Texas States the Student Expectations: 

• 4.8(A) identify relative sizes of measurement units within the customary and metric systems
• 4.8(B) convert measurements within the same measurement system, customary or metric, from a smaller unit into a larger unit or a larger unit into a smaller unit when given other equivalent measures represented in a table.
• 4.8(C) solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate
