Cluster 9: Using place value to understand metric measurement
In this cluster, students explore metric measurement for length, volume, and mass to develop a sense of the value of different metric units. They apply their knowledge of multiplicative comparison to make sense of tenths and hundredths in the place value system and to convert from one metric unit to another using a conversion table. They work within the context of real-world data collection and measurement.
Content Standards:
4.MD.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.
4.MD.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
4.MD.8 Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals that cross the hour.
4.OA.5 Generate and analyze a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule.
