Measurement is pervasive in our lives and provides opportunities for learning and applying other mathematics. It can enhance or contribute to the study of number, geometry, statistics, and functions. In this unit students study units of measure, how unit size affects measures, systems of measurement, and formulas that can be used for determining measurements.
In previous grades, students found areas of common shapes, including circles, by counting, combining and dividing shapes, and measuring, progressing to the use of standard formulas. They discovered the relationship between the diameter and the circumference of a circle and developed an understanding of π as a constant.
Students visualized, described, and represented two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional objects, using geometrical language. They made two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional shapes and models of three-dimensional shapes from two-dimensional representations.
In this unit students extend this knowledge to finding surface area and volumes of three-dimensional figures. In addition, they study the relationship between length and area. Finally, students will select appropriate tools for measuring accurately and determine the degree of precision in measurement.
Unit 6 is typically a three-week unit taught in May and June
