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 weight or mass
Assessment limit: Use the nearest ounce for weight and the nearest gram for mass
- Estimate and determine capacity
Assessment limit: Use the nearest ounce
Topic
B. Measurement Tools
Indicator
- 1. Measure in customary and metric units
Objective
- Select and use appropriate tools and units
Assessment limit: Measure length to 1/8 inch with a ruler
Indicator
- 2. Measure angles
Objective
- Measure a single angle and angles in regular polygons
Assessment limit: Measure an angle between 0 and 180 to the nearest degree
Topic
C. Applications in Measurement
Indicator
- 1. Estimate and apply measurement formulas
Objectives
- Determine perimeter
Assessment limit: Use polygons with no more than 8 sides and whole numbers (0 –500)
- Determine area
Assessment limit: Use rectangles and whole numbers (0 – 200)
- Find the area and the perimeter of any closed figure on a grid
Assessment limit: Use whole and partial units (0-50)
- Estimate and determine volume by counting
Indicator
- 2. Calculate equivalent measurements
Objectives
- Determine start, elapsed, and end time
Assessment limit: Use the nearest minute
- Determine equivalent units of measurement
Assessment limit: Use seconds, minutes, and hours or pints, quarts, and gallons
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.
