3rd Grade Mathematics (Millard Public Schools)
MA S 03.2 Students will communicate geometric concepts and measurement concepts using multiple representations to reason, solve problems, and make connections within mathematics and across disciplines.
MA S 03.2.5 Measurement: Students will apply appropriate procedures/tools to determine measurements using customary/metric units.
a. Measure length to the nearest 1⁄2 inch and centimeter
Explanation: I would read this book to the students before talking about centimeters and inches. When using this book, each student should have the rulers out to see differences in the inches and centimeter sides. The information given in the illustrations will really help the students see what each of the marking on the ruler represent.
Rationale: This book shows how to use a ruler and how to read both the inches and centimeter sides. It uses pictures to give tips on getting the most accurate measurement possible.
