Course 1: SOL
Strand 3: Measurement
- 6.9 The student will compare and convert units of measure for length, area, weight/mass, and volume within the U.S. Customary system and the metric system and estimate conversions between units in each system:
a) length − part of an inch (1/2, 1/4, and 1/8), inches, feet, yards, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers;
b) weight/mass − ounces, pounds, tons, grams, and kilograms;
c) liquid volume − cups, pints, quarts, gallons, milliliters, and liters; and
d) area − square units. *
* The intent of this standard is for students to make ballpark comparisons and not to memorize conversion factors between U.S. Customary and metric units. - 6.10 The student will estimate and then determine length, weight/mass, area, and liquid volume/capacity, using standard and nonstandard units of measure.
- 6.11 The student will determine if a problem situation involving polygons of four or fewer sides represents the application of perimeter or area and apply the appropriate formula.
- 6.12 The student will
a) solve problems involving the circumference and/or area of a circle when given the diameter or radius; and
b) derive approximations for pi (π) from measurements for circumference and diameter, using concrete materials or computer models. - 6.13 The student will
a) estimate angle measures, using 45°, 90°, and 180° as referents, and use the appropriate tools to measure the given angles; and
b) measure and draw right, acute, and obtuse angles and triangles.
