By the end of grade four, students will:
D.4.1 Recognize and describe measurable attributes*, such as length,
liquid capacity, time, weight (mass), temperature, volume, monetary
value, and angle size, and identify the appropriate units to measure
them
D.4.2 Demonstrate understanding of basic facts, principles, and
techniques of measurement, including
- appropriate use of arbitrary* and standard units (metric and
US Customary)
- appropriate use and conversion of units within a system (such
as yards, feet, and inches; kilograms and grams; gallons, quarts,
pints, and cups)
- judging the reasonableness of an obtained measurement as it
relates to prior experience and familiar benchmarks
D.4.3 Read and interpret measuring instruments (e.g., rulers,
clocks, thermometers)
D.4.4 Determine measurements directly* by using standard tools
to these suggested degrees of accuracy
- length to the nearest half-inch or nearest cm
- weight (mass) to the nearest ounce or nearest 5 grams
- temperature to the nearest 5
- time to the nearest minute
- monetary value to dollars and cents
- liquid capacity to the nearest fluid ounce
D.4.5 Determine measurements by using basic relationships (such
as perimeter and area) and approximate measurements by using estimation
techniques
