CPSD Stage 1 Learning Goals Stage 1: Desired Results Transfer Goals Students will be able to independently use their learning to Use four operations to solve real world word problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit Meaning Goals UNDERSTANDINGS Students will understand that Measurement can be used to solve problems Units can be converted within the same measurement system The relative size does not change when converted from larger to smaller units The object being measured influences the unit and system selected to measure ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS How can my knowledge of place value help me attend to precision? How big or small can a unit be? Are all units the same? How do I know when units are related? Students will know Metric units of measure Units can be converted from larger to smaller units within the same system of measure. Strategies for converting units Vocabulary Terminology Kilometer (km, a unit of measure for length) Mass (the measure of the amount of matter in an object) Milliliter (ml, a unit of measure for liquid volume) Mixed units (e.g., 3 m 43 cm) From Engage NY Feb. 2014 Familiar Terms and Symbols From Engage NY Feb. 2014 =, <, > (equal, less than, greater than) Capacity (the maximum amount that something can contain) Convert (to express a measurement in a different unit) Distance (the length of the line segment joining two points) Equivalent (equal) Estimate (an approximation of the value of a number or quantity) Kilogram (kg), gram (g) (units of measure for mass) Larger or smaller unit (used in a comparison of units) Length (the measurement of something from end to end) Acquisition Goals Students will be skilled at Expressing measurement by relating metric units to place value units Using addition and subtraction to solve multi step word problems involving length, mass, and capacity. Model and solve addition and subtraction word problems involving metric length, mass and capacity. Express measurements in larger unit in terms of a smaller unit Converting mixed units to a single unit before or after computation Generate a two column conversion table Solve word problems involving metric units of measure Module 2: Unit Conversions and Problem Solving with Metric Measurement CPSD 8/31/2016 Page 3

Topic A: Metric Unit Conversions CPSD Stage 2: Evidence of Learning Topic A Stage 2 Evidence Evaluative Criteria/Assessment Level Descriptors (ALDs): (3 5 Only) 4.MD.A Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit. Level 3 students should be able to use the four operations to solve problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit; represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale; and apply the area formula to rectangles in mathematical problems. 4.MD.A.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in.
