Prerequisite Skills ~ VSC 3.B.1.a ~ Mathematics Grade PK ~ School Improvement in Maryland

Prerequisite Skills: The prerequisite skills describe what concepts a student needs to understand before working on this concept.

Standard 3.0 Knowledge of Measurement

Topic B. Measurement Tools

Indicator 1. Measure in non-standard units

Objective a. Measure length of objects

Prerequisite Skills
Give students many opportunities to explore and describe objects (including their similarities and differences). This provides them with the understandings necessary for more abstract measurement experiences. When students describe these comparisons, it builds the comparative vocabulary of measurement. Examples of this vocabulary are: Longer/shorter Bigger/smaller Taller/shorter In addition, provide students with many counting experiences, which help them as they learn to quantify length.
