Unit 5: Measurement Summary
After measuring length with nonstandard units, students are introduced to a ruler as a tool for measuring length with inches and then with centimeters. They will learn to use the ruler and other objects (1-inch tiles and centimeter cubes) to measure the length of objects. Then they will learn to estimate measurements and to recognize when a measurement estimate is reasonable. They will use different measurement units (nonstandard and standard) to compare the length of objects, finding that measurements should be in the same unit for easy comparing. Students will also learn to add and subtract measurements of the same unit. Students will learn about capacity and use a standard measuring cup to measure and compare volumes of objects.
