Measurement & Data

5th Grade students will be able to:

• Convert between different-sized measurement units within a given measurement system. A table of equivalencies will be provided. 

  • Example: Convert 5 cm to meters

• Solve problems involving computation of fractions by using information presented in line plots. 

• Display and interpret data shown in tallies, tables, charts, pictographs, bar graphs, and line graphs, and use a title, appropriate scale, and labels. A grid will be provided to display data on bar graphs or line graphs. 

• Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = B × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. Formulas will be provided. 

• Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms.
