Measurement

Scale / A number line on a measurement tool
Customary system / Most standard rules, yardsticks and tape measures
Elapsed time / The amount of time that passes from the start of an event or activity to the end of that event or activity
Perimeter / A measure of the distance around the outside edge of a figure
Circumference / The perimeter of a circle
Area / The measure of the surface within a given regions
Square units / Area is measured in this
Surface area / The area of each face of a geometric solid, and then add those areas together to find the total
Volume / The space occupied by – or the space inside – a solid, measure in cubes called cubic units

Formulas:

Perimeter = (2xL) + (2xw)

Circumference = π x d

Area = l x w

Area of a triangle: Area = ½ x b x h

Area of a circle: Area = πr2

Volume = s3

Reading a scale –

10 X 20 X 30

What number is the red x pointing to? 14
What number is the blue x pointing to? 28
Each tick mark represents? 2

Using a customary ruler –

style

**Practice practice – measure different things in your room. **Remember that each mark is a 16th of an inch. So you land on the ninth mark that is past the number 4, that length is 4 and 9/16

Measuring to a fraction of an inch –

**Practice practice – measure different things. **Remember that each mark is a 16th of an inch.

Measure a penny, nickel, dime , and a quarter

Reviewing customary units of measure –

Estimate the temperature in a refrigerator; the width of a dime, the weight of a dinner roll, and the
capacity of a soup can.
Which is greater?

5 feet or 2 yards
22 ounces or 1 pound
3 cups or 1 quart
90 minutes or two hours

Answers: 15 inches, 2 yards, 22 ounces, 1 quart, two hours

Adding and subtracting mixed measurements –

1 hour 15 minutes
+ 2 hours 50 minutes
3 hours 65 minutes
- 60 minutes **add that hour to the 3 you already have
4 hours 5 minutes
3 feet 3 inches
- 1 foot 9 inches **you cannot take 9 from 3, so you must borrow

2 feet 15 inches **add the 12 inches( 1 foot) you borrowed and add it to the 3 inches you already have
- 1 foot 9 inches
1 foot 6 inches
