Standard(s):
3. Data, Statistics, and Probability
The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
5.MD.A. Measurement & Data: Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real-world problems. (CCSS: 5.MD.A.1)
Convert measurements to solve real-world problems. (Professional Skills: Information Literacy)
Use appropriate precision when converting measurements based on a problem’s context. (MP6)
Inquiry Questions
What is happening mathematically when we convert from centimeters to meters? What about when we convert from meters to centimeters?
How can you use fractions to change 53 kilograms to grams? How can you use decimals to do this conversion?
Coherence Connections
This expectation supports the major work of the grade.
In Grade 4, students solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
In Grade 5, this expectation connects with performing operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
Foot (ft), inch (in.), yard (yd), mile (mi), capacity, gallon (gal), quart (qt), pint (pt), cup (c), fluid ounce (fl oz), weight, ton (T), pound (lb), ounce (oz), kilometer (km), meter (m), centimeter (cm), millimeter (mm), liter (L), milliliter (mL), mass, milligram (mg), gram (g), kilogram (kg)
