Overview — Using practical demonstrations and making connections to real-world applications, students will be supported in problem-solving, reasoning, number relationships, computation, estimation, patterns and functions, probability and measurement. All lessons are designed to promote higher level concepts and approaches to problem solving that are keys to success in work and everyday life.

MEASUREMENT STANDARDS
6-8

Indicator 1: Apply measurement concepts in practical applications.

6. M.1.1. (Comprehension) Select, use, and convert appropriate unit of measurement for a situation.
6. M.1.2. (Comprehension) Find the perimeter and area of squares and rectangles (whole number measurements).
7. M.1.1. (Comprehension) Select, use, and convert appropriate unit of measurement for a situation including capacity and angle measurement.
7. M.1.2. (Comprehension) Given the formulas, find the circumference, perimeter, and area of circles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids (whole number measurement).
8. M.1.1. (Application) Apply proportional reasoning to solve measurement problems with rational number measurements.
8. M.1.2. (Comprehension) Find area, volume, and surface area with whole number measurements.
