Section AUnits of Measurement and Unit Conversion
Anchoring Units of Measurement
I can name common objects that are about as long as 1 inch, foot, yard, mile, millimeter, centimeter, meter, or kilometer.
I can name common objects that weigh about 1 ounce, pound, ton, gram, or kilogram, or that hold about 1 cup, quart, gallon, milliliter, or liter.
When I read or hear a unit of measurement, I know whether it is used to measure length, weight, or volume.
Measuring with Different-Size Units
Converting Units
I can convert measurements from one unit to another, using double number lines, tables, or by thinking about “how much for 1.”
I know that when we measure things in two different units, the pairs of measurements are equivalent ratios.
Section BRates
Comparing Speeds and Prices
I understand that if two ratios have the same rate per 1, they are equivalent ratios.
When measurements are expressed in different units, I can decide who is traveling faster or which item is the better deal by comparing “how much for 1” of the same unit.
Interpreting Rates
I can choose which unit rate to use based on how I plan to solve the problem.
When I have a ratio, I can calculate its two unit rates and explain what each of them means in the situation.
Equivalent Ratios Have the Same Unit Rates
