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.
Topic
A. Measurement Units
Indicator
- 1. Read customary and metric measurement units
Objectives
- Estimate and determine length
Assessment limit: Use the nearest centimeter or ½ inch
- Tell time in days, hours, minutes, and seconds
Assessment limit: Use the nearest minute using an analog clock
- Estimate and read temperature
Assessment limit: Use the nearest degree (°F or °C)
- Estimate and determine weight of objects
Assessment limit: Use the nearest pound or ounce
Topic
B. Measurement Tools
Indicator
- 1. Measure in customary and metric units
Objectives
- Measure length of objects and pictures of objects using a ruler, a tape measure, a yardstick, or a meter stick
Assessment limit: Use a ruler and the nearest centimeter or ½ inch
- Measure capacity of containers to the nearest cup, pint, quart, gallon, milliliter, and liter using graduated containers
- Measure weight of objects to the nearest ounce and pound and the mass of an object to the nearest gram and kilogram
Topic
C. Applications in Measurement
Indicator
- 1. Apply measurement concepts
Objectives
- Estimate and determine the perimeter of geometric figures and pictures on a grid
Assessment limit: Use counting and whole numbers (0 – 50)
- Estimate and determine the area of geometric figures and pictures on a grid
Assessment limit: Use counting and whole numbers (0 – 50)
Indicator
- 2. Calculate equivalent measurements
Objective
- Determine equivalent units of length
Assessment limit: Use 12 inches = 1 foot and 3 feet = 1 yard and whole numbers (0 – 30)
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.
