UP:MA19.3.19

Vocabulary

  • Liquid volume
  • Mass
  • Liter
  • Gram
  • Kilogram
  • Metric unit
  • Capacity
  • Matter

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Personal benchmarks for metric standard units of measure, mass (gram & kilogram) and liquid volume (liter), and the use of related tools (such as balance, spring scales, graduated cylinders, beakers, measuring cups) for measurement to those units.
  • Characteristics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division contexts that involve measurements.
  • How to represent quantities and operations physically, pictorially, or symbolically.
  • Strategies to solve one-step word problems that involve measurement.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Measure liquid volume and mass in metric standard units.
  • Choose appropriate measurement tools and units of measure.
  • Represent quantities and operations physically, pictorially, or symbolically,
  • Use a variety of strategies to solve one-step word problems that involve measurement.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Capacity indicates the measure of the volume (dry or liquid) in a container.
  • Mass indicates the amount of matter in an object and can be represented with different sized units.
