We're moving away from our unit on addition and subtraction, and moving on to measurement. I've told the kids a 100 times, that doesn't mean that we can forget how to add and subtract, it just won't be our main focus.
Our new standards include:
MD.1.1- Knowing relative sizes and lengths.
The students will learn kilometers, meters, centimeters, kilograms, grams, pounds, ounces, liters, milliliters, hours, minutes, seconds, etc. Students will also have to be able to convert these units to other units as well.
MD. 1.2- Measurement word problems.
Once the students learn the relative size of the units, they will be expected to solve word problems based on the units. We'll be converting units to smaller and larger units, then solving addition and subtraction problems involving our metric units.
Here are some of the posters we will be using to help guide and support our journey with measurement.
