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
B. Measurement Tools
Indicator
- 1. Measure in customary and metric units
Objective
- Select and use appropriate tools and units
Assessment limit: Measure length to the nearest 1/16 inch with a ruler
Indicator
- 2. Measure angles in polygons
Topic
C. Applications in Measurement
Indicator
- 1. Estimate and apply measurement formulas
Objectives
- Estimate and determine the area of a polygon
Assessment limit: Use triangles and whole number dimensions (0 – 200)
- Estimate and determine the volume of a rectangular prism
Assessment limit: Use rectangular prisms and whole number dimensions (0 – 1000)
- Estimate and determine the area of a composite figure
Assessment limit: Use composite figures with no more than four polygons (triangles or rectangles) and whole number dimensions (0 – 500)
- Determine missing dimension of a quadrilateral given the perimeter length
Assessment limit: Find length in a quadrilateral given the perimeter with whole number dimensions (0 – 200)
- Determine the missing dimension of rectangles
Assessment limit: Find length in a square or rectangle given the area and whole number dimensions (0 – 200)
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.
