Grade 5 - Shape and Space
Standard 5.SS.2 - Practice converting between different metric units.
Included Skills: Measurement
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.
