Lesson Plan

Solve one-step and multistep word problems that involve measurement quantities -- distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses, and money -- using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division

Convert a measurement from a larger unit to a smaller unit within the same system (e.g., feet to inches, hours to minutes) as a necessary step before performing an operation

Solve measurement word problems that involve simple fractions or decimals, connecting to fraction and place-value reasoning

Represent measurement quantities and solutions on number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale

Determine which operation(s) a measurement context requires by analyzing the relationship described in the problem (combining, comparing, grouping, partitioning)

4.MD.A.2

4.MD.A.2: Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
