1. Measurement AttributeDefinition ActivityStandard Unit of MeasurementMetric Unit of MeasurementLength one dimensional measurement – the measurement of the distance between two objects, or the beginning and end of an object. Changing units – have students measure a piece of paper with post it notes and then provide a different unit. Students predict what the new measurement will be. Make and use a ruler from tagboard.InchFootYardmileMillimeterCentimeterMeterKilometerAreaTwo dimensional measurement - Measure of the space inside a region or how much it takes to cover a region. (Carpet or tile)Greater area comparison with pairs of rectangles (Pair A – 2X9 and 3X6, Pair B – 1X10 and 3X5, Pair C – 3X8 and 4X5) Rectangle blank except for the labels. Students decide which rectangle had the greater area or if the two are the same size. They may cut, fold or manipulate the rectangles.

(Fence around the outside)Give a loop of string that is exactly 24 units long. Decide which rectangles can be made with a perimeter of 24 units.
