Measurement        
           
3-4 Benchmark A        
    STEMS MC# SA# ER#
Select appropriate units for perimeter, area, weight, volume (capacity), time and temperature using:      
  - Objects of uniform;        
  - U.S. customary units; e.g., mile, square inch, cubic inch, second degree Fahrenheit, and other units as appropriate;        
  - metric units; e.g., millimeter, kilometer, square centimeter, kilogram, cubic centimeter, degree Celsius, another units as appropriate.        
           
  Grade 3 Indicator 1 - Identify and select appropriate units for measuring: *When would you use… 1    
       a.  Length - miles, kilometers and other units of measure as appropriate.        
       b.  Volume (capacity) - gallons;        
       c.  Weight - ounces, pounds, grams, or kilograms;        
       d.  Temperature - degrees (Fahrenheit or Celsius).        
           
  Grade 3  Indicator 4 - Read thermometers in both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.        
           
  Grade 4 Indicator 3 - Identify and select appropriate units to measure:        
       a.  Perimeter - string or links (inches or centimeters).        
       b.  Area - tiles (square inches or square centimeters).        
       c.  Volume - cubes (cubic inches or cubic centimeters).        
           
3-4 Benchmark B        
           
Know that the number of units is inversely related to the size of the unit for any item being measured.      
           
    STEMS MC # SA # ER #
  Grade 4 Indicator 1 - Relate the number of units to the size of the units used to measure an object; e.g., compare the number of quarts to fill a pitcher to the number of quarts to fill the same pitcher.        
           
3-4 Benchmark C        
Develop common referents for units of measure for length, weight, volume (capacity) and time to make comparisons and estimates.       
           
    STEMS MC # SA # ER #
           
  Grade 3 Indicator 2 - Establish personal or common referents to include additional units; e.g., a gallon container of milk; a postage stamp is about a square inch. *Which object is (height)?
*How much?
2    
           
  Grade 3 Indicator 5 - Estimate and measure length, weight and volume (capacity), using metric and U.S. customary units, accurate to the nearest 1/2 or 1/4 unit as appropriate.        
           
           
  Grade 4 Indicator 2 - Demonstrate and describe perimeter as surrounding and area as covering a two-dimensional shape, and volume as filling a three-dimensional object.         
           
           
3-4 Benchmark D        
Identify appropriate tools and apply counting techniques for measuring side lengths, perimeter, and area of squares, rectangles, and simple irregular two-dimensional shapes, volume of rectangular prisms, and time and temperature.       
           
    STEMS MC # SA # ER #
  Grade 3 Indicator 4 - Read thermometers in both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. *What temperature? 1
