Mathematics
- Measurement
Mathematics: Measurement
Standard 2: The student compares, contrasts, and converts within systems of measurement (both standard/nonstandard and metric/customary). (MA.B.2.3)
- uses direct (measured) and indirect (not measured) measures to compare a given characteristic in either metric or customary units.
- solves problems involving units of measure and converts answers to a larger or smaller unit within either the metric or customary system.
- Geometry
Mathematics: Measurement
Standard 1: The student measures quantities in the real world and uses the measures to solve problems. (MA.B.1.3)
