FAMILY LETTER
(PAGE 1 OF 2)
Dear Family,
We are starting a new unit in mathematics called How Far Can You Jump? Students will be measuring lengths and distances and solving measurement story problems. We will work with a variety of measurement units, including nonstandard ones like shoe-lengths, craft sticks, paper clips, and cubes, as well as standard ones, like inches, feet, yards, centimeters, and meters.
Throughout this unit, students will be working toward these goals:
Benchmarks/Goals | Examples |
---|---|
Recognize that, when measuring the same length, larger units yield smaller counts (and vice versa). | d |
Estimate and measure lengths in inches, feet, centimeters, and meters. | d |
