Grade 4 Unit 9 Measurement

Unit 9 Measurement

Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

In this unit, students measure various attributes using both the U.S. Customary system and the metric system. They explore equivalent measurements within the U.S. Customary system as well as solve problems involving measurement. This unit offers students multiple opportunities to connect prior understandings (e.g., multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, base ten relationships) to real life situations and elapsed time is also formally assessed in this unit.

Standards:

4.MG.1 The student will reason mathematically to solve problems, including those in context, that involve length, weight/mass, and liquid volume using U.S. Customary and metric units.

4.MG.2 The student will solve single-step and multistep contextual problems involving elapsed time (limited to hours and minutes within a 12-hour period).

4.MG.3 The student will use multiple representations to develop and use formulas to solve problems, including those in context, involving area and perimeter limited to rectangles and squares (in both U.S. Customary and metric units).
