Math--New Learning Goals

We are learning to...



-Estimate, measure, and record length, height, and distance, using standard units (e.g., centimetre, metre, kilometre).
-Draw items using a ruler, given specific lengths in centimetres (e.g., draw a pencil that is 5 cm long). 
-Estimate, measure, and record the perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, through investigation using standard units (e.g., estimate, measure, and record the perimeter of your notebook). 
-Estimate, measure (e.g., using centimetre grid paper, array), and record area (e.g., if a row of 10 connecting cubes is approximately the width of a book, skip counting down the cover of the book with the row of cubes is one way one to determine the area of the book cover). 
-Compare standard units of length (e.g., centimetre, metre, kilometre ) (e.g., centimetre, metre, kilometre) (e.g., centimetres are smaller than metres), and select and justify the most appropriate standard unit to measure length. 
-Compare and order objects on the basis of linear measurements in centimetres and/or metres.
-Describe, through investigation using grid paper, the relationship between the size of unit of areas and the number of units needed to cover a surface.
