State Curriculum - Mathematics

  
Grade 1
Standard 3.0 Knowledge of Measurement: Students will identify attributes, units, or systems of measurements or apply a variety of techniques, formulas, tools or technology for determining measurements.
A. Measurement Units
1. Read measurement units
a. Read a calendar to identify days of the week and months of the year
b. Tell time in intervals of hours and half-hours using an analog clock
c. Compare the same time on analog and digital clocks
d. Read a thermometer to tell temperature to the nearest 10° F
e. Compare and order objects by weight in pounds using a spring scale and a bathroom scale
B. Measurement Tools
1. Measure in customary units
a. Measure length of objects and pictures of objects to the nearest inch using a ruler
b. Identify and compare units of capacity using cups and gallons
c. Compare and order objects by weight in pounds using a spring scale and a bathroom scale
d. Describe the attributes of length, weight, and capacity
C. Applications in Measurement
 

Note: Highlighted assessment limits will be tested in the no calculator section of MSA. In the assessment limit, (0-10) or (-10 to 10) means all numbers in the problem or the answer will fall within the range of 0 to 10 (including endpoints) or -10 to 10 (including endpoints), respectively. All content standards are tested in MSA but not all objectives. Objectives that have an assessment limit are tested on MSA. Objectives without an assessment limit are not tested on MSA.

 

MSDE has developed a toolkit for these standards which can be found online at: http://mdk12.org/instruction/curriculum/mathematics/vsc_toolkit.html.
