Suggested Learning Target
- I can select several appropriate units of length (e.g., inches, feet, centimeter, meter) to measure an object.
- I can accurately measure an object with two different unit lengths.
- I can compare the measurement using the shorter unit length to the measurement using the longest unit length, and explain how the size of the unit length affects the measurement.
- I can recognize the equivalent units of 12 inches = 1 foot and 100 centimeters = 1 meter as well as non- standard equivalent measurements
