Measure the attributes (length, width, height) of an object using two different size units.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Using a ruler or yardstick, measure the length, width, and height of objects in inches and feet.
  • Identify that inches and feet both measure the attribute of length, width, and height, even though they are different size units.
  • Understand that length, width and height can be measured using different size units (Ex: a chalkboard can be measured using a ruler or a yardstick).
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary of length, width, height, ruler, yardstick, unit, inches, foot.

Number: MAFS.2.MD.1.AP.2b Category: Access Points
Cluster: Measure and estimate lengths in standard units. (Major 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.

Name Description
MAFS.2.MD.1.2: Describe the inverse relationship between the size of a unit and number of units needed to measure a given object. Example: Suppose the perimeter of a room is lined with one-foot rulers. Now, suppose we want to line it with yardsticks instead of rulers. Will we need more or fewer yardsticks than rulers to do the job? Explain your answer.
