Grade 5 - Shape and Space
Standard 5.SS.4 - Practice finding the appropriate weight of various objects. Understand the approximate scale of different metric units.
Included Skills: Measurement
Demonstrate an understanding of capacity by: • describing the relationship between mL and L • selecting and justifying referents for mL or L units • estimating capacity, using referents for mL or L • measuring and recording capacity (mL or L). • Achievement Indicators: - 5SS4.1 Demonstrate that 1 000 millilitres is equivalent to 1 litre by filling a 1 litre container using a combination of smaller containers. - 5SS4.2 Determine the capacity of a given container, using materials that take the shape of the inside of the container, and explain the strategy. - 5SS4.3 Relate mL and L in problem solving situations. - 5SS4.4 Provide a referent for a litre, and explain the choice. - 5SS4.5 Provide a referent for a millilitre, and explain the choice. - 5SS4.6 Determine which capacity unit is represented by a given referent. - 5SS4.7 Estimate the capacity of a given container, using personal referents.
