M5M3Students will measure capacity with appropriately chosen units and tools.
a. Use milliliters, liters, fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons to measure capacity.
b. Compare one unit to another within a single system of measurement (e.g., 1 quart = 2 pints).M5M4Students will understand and compute the volume of a simple geometric solid.
a. Understand a cubic unit (u3) is represented by a cube in which each edge has the length of 1 unit.
b. Identify the units used in computing volume as cubic centimeters (cm3), cubic meters (m3), cubic inches (in3), cubic feet (ft3), and cubic yards (yd3).
c. Derive the formula for finding the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism using manipulatives.
d. Compute the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism using formulae.
e. Estimate the volume of a simple geometric solid.
f. Understand the similarities and differences between volume and capacity.
