· All measurement is comparison.
· The idea of a common attribute (i.e. length, height, weight, area, etc.) is key to measurement.
· The notion of a unit is critical to measurement.
· Measurement tools enable the efficient use of units in making comparisons.
· Personal benchmarks aid in the meaningful use of measurement.
K.7 Recognize a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter and will determine the value of a collection of pennies and/or nickels whose total value is 10 cents or less.
K.8 Identify the instruments used to measure length (ruler), weight (scale), time (clock: digital and analog; calendar: day, month, and season), and temperature (thermometer).
K.9 Tell time to the hour, using analog and digital clocks.
K.10 Compare two objects or events, using direct comparisons or nonstandard units of measure, according to one or more of the following attributes: length (shorter, longer), height (taller, shorter), weight (heavier, lighter), temperature (hotter, colder).
