Grade 5 - Measurement and Data

Standard 5.MD.1.4 - Practice finding the appropriate weight of various objects. Understand the approximate scale of different metric units.

Included Skills:

Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of capacity by
• describing the relationship between millilitre (mL) and litre (L) units
• selecting and justifying referents for millilitre (mL) and litre (L) units
• estimating capacity using referents for millilitre (mL) and litre (L)
• measuring and recording capacity (mL or L)

• Performance Indicators
- M04.01 Demonstrate that 1000 millilitres is equivalent to one litre by filling a one-litre container using a combination of smaller containers.
- M04.02 Provide a referent for one litre, and explain the choice.
- M04.03 Provide a referent for one millilitre, and explain the choice.
- M04.04 Determine the capacity unit of a given referent.
- M04.05 Estimate the capacity of a given container using personal referents.
- M04.06 Determine the capacity of a given container using materials that take the shape of the inside of the container (e.g., a liquid, rice, sand, beads), and explain the strategy.
