Unity of purpose
CORE CURRICULUM: SCOPE AND SEQUENCE
Department: Mathematics
CONTENT STANDARD: MEASUREMENT
Students will understand and demonstrate measurement skills. Measurement is valuable as an integrating skill throughout the curriculum and in everyday life. The use of estimation is vital in determining the reasonableness of measurement. Measurement attributes (e.g., length, volume, time), U.S. customary and metric units, and tools enhance the ability to describe and understand the world.
