Elementary Mathematics Content II

Elementary Mathematics Content II focuses on measurement and geometry with emphasis on conjecture, justification and proof.

Standard 7: Measurement

7A1. Knows how to measure length, area, volume, capacity, time, temperature, angles, weight and mass.
7B1. Uses customary, metric, and non-standard measures.
7B2. Selects and uses appropriate tools to perform above measurements.
7A2. Has knowledge of non-standard and emerging units such as graphic screen pixels and font size.
7A4. Understands how changing one measure of a multi-dimensional object may affect other measures.
7C5. Explains how changing one measure of a multi-dimensional object impacts other measurements.
7A5. Understands conversion factors as they apply to dimensional analysis.
7B3. Estimates measurement.
7B4. Determines acceptable measures of accuracy and calculates relative error.
7C1. Measures objects using both direct and indirect measurement.
7C2. Uses formulas to aid in indirect measurement.
7C3. Applies measurements and formulas to irregular shapes, regions, and solids.
7C4. Reads and interprets scale drawings.
7C6. Reads and interprets topographical maps and architectural drawings.


Standard 8: Algebra

8C2. Understands concepts of distance, area, volume, and shapes that lead to limits.


Standard 9: Geometry

9A. Understands terminology, properties of two- and three-dimensional shapes, and the relationships among them.
