2.M Measurement

  • Students will be expected to use direct and indirect measure to solve problems.

    • 2.M01 Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the calendar and the relationships among days, weeks, months, and years.

    • 2.M02 Students will be expected to relate the size of a unit of measure to the number of units (limited to non-standard units) used to measure length and mass.

      • 2.M02.01 Explain why one of two given non-standard units may be a better choice for measuring the length of an object.

      • 2.M02.02 Explain why one of two given non-standard units may be a better choice for measuring the mass of an object.

      • 2.M02.03 Select a non-standard unit for measuring the length or mass of an object and explain why it was chosen.

      • 2.M02.04 Estimate the number of non-standard units needed for a given measurement task.

      • 2.M02.05 Explain why the number of units of a measurement will vary depending upon the unit of measure used.

    • 2.M03 Students will be expected to compare and order objects by length, height, distance around, and mass using non-standard units and make statements of comparison.

    • 2.M04 Students will be expected to measure length to the nearest non-standard unit by using multiple copies of a unit and using a single copy of a unit (iteration process).

      • 2.M04.01 Explain why overlapping or leaving gaps does not result in accurate measures.

      • 2.M04.02 Count the number of non-standard units required to measure the length of a given object using a single copy or multiple copies of a unit.

      • 2.M04.03 Estimate and measure a given object using multiple copies of a non-standard unit and using a single copy of the same unit many times, and explain the results.

      • 2.M04.04 Estimate and measure, using non-standard units, a given length that is not a straight line.

    • 2.M05 Students will be expected to demonstrate that changing the position of an object does not alter the measurements of its attributes.

      • 2.M05.01 Measure a given object, change the position, remeasure, and explain the results.
