We are moving away from multiplication and division for the meantime (still using during math review) and moving into the Metric System! In this chapter students will learn to estimate and measure medium and short lengths using the standard metric units of meters (m) and centimeters (cm). Students are also going to see that standard units of measure provide a basis for the comparison of lengths (finding the difference). To further reinforce their understanding of length, children will be taught to draw lines of specific lengths, while also applying what they learned through addition and subtraction to solve real-world problems involving metric length.
Students are looking forward to trying a new chapter and learning more about measuring!
