(CMT) 4.25 Measure and compare length using a measuring tool, and describe the results in both metric and U.S. Customary units, including part of an inch (1/2, 1/4, 1/8), inches, feet, yards, millimeters, centimeters, and meters. 4.26 Convert measures within of U.S. Customary system and the metric system. (CMT) 4.27 Solve problems that involve estimation and measurement of length, perimeter, area, volume, capacity, weight and temperature. (CFW) 2

Content Strand 3: Geometry Enduring Understandings: Students develop and apply units, systems, formulas and appropriate tools to estimate and measure. Students use properties and characteristics of two-and three-dimensional shapes and geometric theorems to describe relationships, communicate ideas and solve problems. Students use spatial reasoning, location and geometric relationships to solve problems. Essential Question: How do geometric relationships help us to solve problems and make sense of our world? Cluster: Area, Perimeter and Volume 4.30 Develop and use formulas to solve problems involving perimeter and area. 4.31 Measure the area of rectangular shapes by using appropriate units, such as square centimeter (cm2), square meter (m 2), square inch, or square mile (mi 2 ). Cluster: Shapes and their Properties 4.32 Analyze and define classes of 2- and 3-D figures including sides, angles, vertices, edges, faces, and lines of symmetry. (CMT) 4.33 Identify and describe transformations: translations (slides), reflections (flips), and rotations (turns). (CMT) 4.34 Investigate and describe the relationships between and among points, lines, line segments, and rays. Cluster: Angles 4.35 Identify attributes of triangles (e.g., two equal sides for the isosceles triangle, three equal sides for the equilateral triangle, right angle for the right triangle). 4.36 Use a protractor to measure and construct acute, right and obtuse angles. 4.37 Describe relative positions of points and lines with respect to parallelism and perpendicularity. 3
