Measurement Standard
Benchmarks (3–4)
D.
Identify appropriate tools and apply counting techniques for measuring side lengths, perimeter and area of squares, rectangles, and simple irregular two-dimensional shapes, volume of rectangular prisms, and time and temperature.
Benchmarks (5–7)
C.
Identify appropriate tools and apply appropriate techniques for measuring angles, perimeter or circumference and area of triangles, quadrilaterals, circles and composite shapes, and surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 3)
5.
Estimate and measure length, weight and volume (capacity), using metric and U.S. customary units, accurate to the nearest 1/2 or 1/4 unit as appropriate.
7.
Make estimates for perimeter, area and volume using links, tiles, cubes and other models.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 4)
4.
Develop and use strategies to find perimeter using string or links, area using tiles or a grid, and volume using cubes; e.g., count squares to find area of regular or irregular shapes on a grid, layer cubes in a box to find its volume.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 6)
3.
Estimate perimeter or circumference and area for circles, triangles and quadrilaterals, and surface area and volume for prisms and cylinders by:
a. estimating lengths using string or links, areas using tiles or grid, and volumes using cubes; and
b. measuring attributes (diameter, side lengths, or heights) and using established formulas for circles, triangles, rectangles, parallelograms and rectangular prisms.
