Grade 5 - Shape and Space

Standard 5.SS.2 - Practice converting between different metric units.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate an understanding of measuring length (mm and km) by:
• selecting and justifying referents for the unit mm
• modelling and describing the relationship between mm and cm units, and between mm and m units.
• selecting and justifying referents for the unit km.
• modelling and describing the relationship between m and km units.

• Achievement Indicators:
- 5SS2.1 Show that 10 millimetres is equivalent to one centimetre, using concrete materials.
- 5SS2.2 Show that 1 000 millimetres is equivalent to one metre, using concrete materials.
- 5SS2.3 Provide examples of when millimetres are used as the unit of measure.
- 5SS2.4 Provide a referent for one kilometre, and explain the choice.
- 5SS2.5 Know that 1 000 metres is equivalent to one kilometre.
- 5SS2.6 Provide examples of when kilometres are used as the unit of measure.
- 5SS2.7 Explore and generalize the measurement relationships between and among millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres.
- 5SS2.8 Provide a referent for one millimetre, and explain the choice.
- 5SS2.9 Provide a referent for one centimetre, and explain the choice.
- 5SS2.10 Provide a referent for one metre, and explain the choice.
