Thinking About Measurement

Would it make sense to measure the distance between two

cities with a yardstick?

How could you measure the circumference of (distance

around) the lid of a jar?

How would you measure the diameter of a ball?

How would you estimate the height of a three story building?

Renaming Measurements

Is 18 inches more or less than a foot?

What fraction of 1 foot is 6 inches?

2 yards is equal to how many feet?

2 feet is equal to how many inches?

Give another name for 2 feet 3 inches:

Give another name for 5 feet:

Independent Practice

Practice measuring in centimeters and inches, renaming measurements, and finding the areas of rectangles.

Remember to begin measuring at the 0 mark.

Volume

What is volume and how is it measured?

Lesson 10.2

Mental Math Write three and nine hundredths. Underline the digit in the tenths place.

Four and fifty hundredths Circle the digit in the hundredths place.

Underline the ones.

Seventeen and ninety-three hundredthsUnderline the ones digit.

Introducing the Volume of a Rectangular Prism

Bases of a PrismRemember that bases are any two pairs of opposite faces. The bases are rectangular and parallel and have the same area.

Height of a PrismThe height of a prism is the distance between the two opposite bases.

Group Work

Each student will need 10 cm cubes.

We will break into groups of 4 students. Each group will get a copy of math masters 166. Each student is responsible for cutting out and taping a rectangular prism (A, B, C, or D).

Discuss the prisms from your group and estimate how many cubes you think it will take to fill each of the rectangular prisms.

How will you find out how many cubes would fill the prisms?


Part One Only

Group Work Follow Up

What do you notice about the cubes in the rectangular prisms?

Is there an algorithm we could use to easily find the number of cubes in a prism?

The number of cubes needed to fill a box is the volume of the box. The algorithm for volume is:

Measuring Weight

What do we already know about weight? What units of measurement can you list?

Categorizing Units of Weight

Metric Units U.S. Customary Units

Examining Kinds of ScalesLet’s look at different types of scales found in your SRB, on pages 147 and 148.

There are two things we need to know about scales.

Capacity of a Scale: the weight a scale can measure.

Precision: the size of the unit of measurement. The smaller the unit the more precise the scale.

Group Work: Exploring Scales

You will be working with a partner to complete math journal page 255. You will be brainstorming objects that can be measured or weighed by the different scales that are categorized.

When you have finished you may complete math journal pages 256 and 257 independently. You will be working with weight on these pages also.

Answer: __________________________

Examining 4 Objects

I will be displaying four objects. You need to evaluate them and estimate the order of the items by weight.

Use part one of math journal page 251.

Then estimate and rank the order of items by volume, using part two of the same page.

Discussing your Estimates

Take a minute to discuss your predictions with your partner.

Why did you rank certain objects as heavier or lighter?

How did you rank your volume? Explain your thinking.

Conducting the Volume Experiment

We are going to test the volumes of our four objects using containers and water. We will be measuring how much water is displaced from the container after each object is inserted. The more water displaced, the greater the volume of the object.

Discussing the Experiment How you would explain the relationship you noticed?

Can you name two objects for which the heavier of the two also has a greater volume?

Can you name two objects for which the heavier of the two has the smaller volume?

Independent WorkComplete the parentheses puzzles on the bottom of page 251. Remember that the parentheses tell you what operation to do first.


Capacity

What is the capacity of a container?

Lesson 10.6

Math Message Follow Up

We are going to use our bar graph and pennies to find the average or mean of the set of numbers.We are first going to find the average by placing pennies on each shaded square.After covering each shaded block, rearrange the pennies to level them off across the bar graph.

That is one way to find the “mean”.
