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.

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.

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

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.
