Describe and compare measurable attributes. K.MD Measure attributes with non-standard units. Construct an understanding of possible forms of measuring the attributes listed below by describing and comparing. Understand and use the concepts of: iteration—laying more than one of the unit next to an object to measure its length and repeatedly laying one unit next to an object; the inverse relationship between the size of a unit and the number of units needed. Solve problems with measurement units using direct modeling and label the unit used. Focus Attributes: Length K Invest.
