Volume 6A Measurement

3AF1.4 Express simple unit conversions

in symbolic form (e.g., _ inches = _ feet × 12).

3MG1.4 Carry out simple unit conversions within a system of measurement (e.g., centimeters and meters, hours and minutes).

6AF2.1 Convert one unit of measurement to another (e.g., from feet to miles, from centimeters to inches).

7MG1.1 Compare weights, capacities, geometric measures, times, and temperatures within and between measurement systems (e.g., miles per hour and feet per second, cubic inches to cubic centimeters)

7MG1.3 Use measures expressed

as rates (e.g., speed, density) and measures expressed as products (e.g., person-days) to solve problems; check the units of the solutions; and use dimensional analysis to check the reasonableness of the answer.

Trang 8

2MG1.3 Measure the length

of an object to the nearest inch and/or centimeter.

3MG1.2 Estimate or determine the area and volume of solid fi gures by covering them with squares or by counting the number of cubes that would fi ll them.

3MG1.3 Find the perimeter of a polygon with integer sides.

4MG2.2 Understand that the length of a horizontal line segment equals

the difference of the x-coordinates.

4MG2.3 Understand that the length of a vertical line segment equals the

difference of the y-coordinates.

4MG1.1 Measure the area of rectangular shapes by using appropriate units, such as square centimeter (cm 2 ), square meter (m 2 ), square kilometer (km 2 ), square inch (in 2 ), square yard (yd 2 ), or square mile (mi 2 ).

5MG1.1 Derive and use the formula for the area of a triangle and of a parallelogram by comparing each with the formula for the area of a rectangle (i.e., two

of the same triangles make a parallelogram with twice the area; a parallelogram is compared with a rectangle of the same area by pasting and cutting a right triangle

on the parallelogram).

5MG1.2 Construct a cube and rectangular box from two-dimensional patterns and use these patterns to complete the surface area for these objects.

5MG1.3 Understand the concept

of volume and use the appropriate units

in common measuring systems (i.e., cubic centimeter [cm 3 ], cubic meter [m 3 ], cubic inch [in 3 ], cubic yard [yd 3 ]) to compute the volume of rectangular solids.

in This Chapter

5MG2.1 Measure, identify, and draw angles, perpendicular and parallel lines, rectangles, and triangles by using appropriate tools (e.g., straight edge, ruler, compass, protractor, drawing software).

5MG2.2 Know that the sum of the angles of any triangle is 180° and the sum of the angles of any quadrilateral is 360° and use this information to solve problems.

6MG1.2 Know common estimates

of π (3.14, _22

7 ) and use these values to estimate and calculate the circumference and the area of circles; compare with actual measurements.

6MG1.3 Know and use the formulas for the volume of triangular prisms and cylinders (area of base × height); compare these formulas and explain the similarity between them and the formula for the volume of a rectangular solid

6MG2.2 Use the properties of complementary and supplementary angles and the sum of the angles of a triangle

to solve problems involving an unknown angle.

7MG3.3 Know and understand the Pythagorean theorem and its

converse and use it to fi nd the length

of the missing side of a right triangle and the lengths of other line segments and, in some situations, empirically verify the Pythagorean theorem by direct measurement.

7MG3.4 Demonstrate an understanding of conditions that indicate two geometrical fi gures are congruent and what congruence means about the relationship between the sides and angles

of the two fi gures.

What You Know What You Will Learn

You know how to multiply and divide

The metric system is a measurement

system in which units differ from the base unit by a power of ten

1l 1,000 ml

1 liter of juice = 1,000 milliliters of juice

So, 4 liters of juice = 4 × 1,000, or 4,000 milliliters of juice

You know how to multiply and divide

The customary system of

measurement uses units such as foot and quart You multiply or divide to change units

1 km = 1,000 m = 10,000 dm = 100,000 cm = 1,000,000 mm

0.001 km = 1 m = 10 dm = 100 cm = 1,000 mm

0.00001 km = 0.01 m = 0.1 dm = 1 cm = 10 mm

0.000001 km = 0.001 m = 0.01 dm = 0.1 cm = 1 mm
