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:

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.
