    Vocabulary

    • Operations
    • Distance
    • Intervals of time
    • Liquid volume
    • Mass
    • Number line diagram
    • Measurement scale

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • Relative sizes of units within one system of measurement.
    • Strategies to solve word problems involving the four operations.
    • Measurement units in the same system are multiplicatively related.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • Solve measurement word problems
    • Involving distance, intervals of time, liquid volume, mass, and money.
    • Involving measurement conversion of larger units to a smaller unit.
    • Involving simple fractions or decimals.
    • Using diagrams to represent measurement quantities and solutions.

    Note: Quantities and operations are limited to grade 4 standard expectations.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • Relationships among units within a system of measurement are multiplicative comparisons.
    • The size of the unit of measurement and the number of units are inversely related.
    • Addition and subtraction of measurements require measurements in the same unit and that the common unit is maintained in the answer.
