Measurement
What is Measurement?
Measurement is the process of comparing a quantity with a standard unit. It is used to express the size, length, weight, volume, or quantity of something.Types of Measurement
There are different types of measurement, including:- Length - the measurement of how long or short something is.
- Weight - the measurement of how heavy or light something is.
- Volume - the measurement of how much space an object occupies.
- Time - the measurement of the duration of an event.
Units of Measurement
Units of measurement are the specific standards used for measuring different quantities. For example:- For length: meter (m), centimeter (cm), kilometer (km).
- For weight: gram (g), kilogram (kg).
- For volume: liter (L), milliliter (mL).
- For time: second (s), minute (min), hour (h).
Tools for Measurement
Various tools are used for measurement, such as rulers, measuring tapes, scales, thermometers, and clocks.Converting Units
Converting units involves changing the measurement from one unit to another. For example, converting centimeters to meters, or grams to kilograms.Study Guide
To master the topic of measurement, it's important to:- Understand the different types of measurement.
- Learn the standard units for each type of measurement.
- Practice using different tools for measurement, and understand which tool is appropriate for each type of measurement.
- Practice converting units within the same type of measurement.
- Apply measurement concepts to real-life situations, such as measuring ingredients for a recipe, calculating distances, or telling time.

Number and Operations (NCTM)
Compute fluently and make reasonable estimates.
Develop fluency in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers.
Select appropriate methods and tools for computing with whole numbers from among mental computation, estimation, calculators, and paper and pencil according to the context and nature of the computation and use the selected method or tools.
Algebra (NCTM)
Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships.
Model problem situations with objects and use representations such as graphs, tables, and equations to draw conclusions.
Grade 4 Curriculum Focal Points (NCTM)
Number and Operations and Algebra: Developing quick recall of multiplication facts and related division facts and fluency with whole number multiplication
Students use understandings of multiplication to develop quick recall of the basic multiplication facts and related division facts. They apply their understanding of models for multiplication (i.e., equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal intervals on the number line), place value, and properties of operations (in particular, the distributive property) as they develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to multiply multi-digit whole numbers. They select appropriate methods and apply them accurately to estimate products or calculate them mentally, depending on the context and numbers involved. They develop fluency with efficient procedures, including the standard algorithm, for multiplying whole numbers, understand why the procedures work (on the basis of place value and properties of operations), and use them to solve problems.
