options: Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.

Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.

Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.

Relate addition and subtraction to length.

Describe and compare measurable attributes.

Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.

Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.

Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.

Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.

Work with time and money.

Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.

Represent and interpret data.

Tell and write time.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to compare four area diagrams that have been decomposed into two areas, each representing a product. It gives students a reason to use language precisely (MP6). It gives the teacher an opportunity to hear how students use terminology and talk about characteristics of the items in comparison to one another. During the synthesis, ask students to explain the meaning of any terminology they use, such as side lengths, area, parts, and decompose.

Activity Synthesis
“Why didn’t it make sense for the rectangle in C to be split in half?” (Because one part of the rectangle should have been larger than the other because 70 is greater than 28. The part with 28 should have been smaller than the part with 70.)
Consider asking: “Let’s find at least one reason why each one doesn’t belong.”
