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 and height
Assessment limit: Use the nearest millimeter or ¼ inch
- Estimate and determine weight or mass
- Estimate and determine capacity
Topic
B. Measurement Tools
Indicator
- 1. Measure in customary and metric units
Objective
- Select and use appropriate tools and units
Assessment limit: Use the nearest millimeter or ¼ inch with a ruler
Indicator
- 2. Compare right angles to a corner
Topic
C. Applications in Measurement
Indicator
- 1. Apply measurement concepts
Objectives
- Determine perimeter
Assessment limit: Use polygons with no more than 6 sides given the length of the sides in whole numbers (0 – 100)
- Determine area
Assessment limit: Use rectangles with the length of the sides in whole numbers (0 – 100)
- Determine start time, elapsed time, and end time
Assessment limit: Use hour and half hour intervals
Indicator
- 2. Calculate equivalent measurements
Objectives
- Determine equivalent units of length
Assessment limit: Use 36 inches = 1 yard and whole numbers (0-100)
- Determine equivalent units of time
- Determine equivalent units of capacity and weight within the same system
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.
