Grade K
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. Explore measurement units
a. Order, compare, and describe objects by attributes such as: length/height, weight, capacity
b. Recognize time by identifying days of the week and by using terms such as: yesterday, today, tomorrow, morning, afternoon, night, before, after
c. Compare and describe temperature such as: temperature in January as compared to temperature in July
B. Measurement Tools
1. Measure in non-standard units
a. Measure length of objects and pictures of objects
b. Explore and compare the capacity of containers
c. Explore and compare weight of objects
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.
