Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use tools to demonstrate knowledge of how many grams are in a kilogram.
- Use tools (i.e., balance) as a reference when solving problems involving mass (e.g., A paperclip has a mass of one gram. There are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram. How many paperclips will it take to make a kilogram?)
- Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: conversion, kilograms, and grams.
- Understand standard units and abbreviations (e.g., grams = g).
- Demonstrate that as units of measurement get larger (i.e., grams ==>kilograms), the number gets smaller (i.e., 1,000 grams ==> 1 kilogram).

Cluster:
Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system. (Supporting Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
