Section CXXIX-711 - Benchmark 5-Measurement

A. Adult learners apply knowledge of standard measurements to real-life situations.

1. Recognize the attributes of length, volume, weight, area, and time.

2. Measure using non-standard (e.g., string, paper clip, toothpicks) and standard (i.e., U.S. Customary and metric system) units.

3. Use common references (e.g., pitcher, paper clip, string) for measurements to make comparisons and estimates.

4. Recognize that units of measurements or approximations can affect differences in precision.

5. Select an appropriate unit and tool to measure an object or event, i.e.,:

a. ruler;

b. thermometer;

c. measuring cup;

d. scale; and

e. stop watch.

6. Identify the appropriate U.S. customary units of measurement for an object or event, i.e.,:

a. length;

b. capacity;

c. weight;

d. area;

e. volume;

f. time; and

g. temperature.

7. Solve real-life problems involving measurement using U.S. customary units.

8. Identify the appropriate metric units of measurement for an object or event, i.e.,:

a. length;

b. capacity;

c. weight;

d. area;

e. volume;

f. time; and

g. temperature.

9. Solve real-life problems involving measurement using metric units.

10. Apply the appropriate tools and standard units to measure an object or event, i.e.,:

a. length;

b. capacity;

c. weight;

d. area;

e. volume;

f. time; and

g. temperature.

11. Use appropriate tools and standard units to measure geometric figures, i.e.,:

a. angles;

b. circles;

c. triangles;

d. squares.

12. Convert measurements to equivalent units within a given system (i.e., U.S. customary or metric system).
