Concept Map-Measurement



Measurement


I.       length


•2.MD.2. Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.
There are two systems used to measure length: The Metric System and The US System.
For the metric system, you measure length in meters. Small units of of lengths are called millimeters. When you have ten millimeters you can call then a centimeter. 100 centimeters would be called a meter. 1000 meters would be called a kilometer. Therefore, 1 centimeter=10 millimeters
1 meter=100 centimeters
1 kilometer=1000 meters
For the US System, length can be measure four ways. The small unit of measurement is inches. Twelve inches equals one foot. Three feet equals one yard. 1,760 yards equals one mile. Although US system is not based on tens, it is still easy to see that each system has different units to represent smaller lengths to the longest lengths.


A.    US


1.    inches


2.    feet


3.    yards


4.    miles


B.    Metric


1.    Meters


II.     Weight


•4.MD.1. Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec.
The two units to measure weight are pounds and ounces. Ounces are used to weigh smaller units, such as spices. Pounds are used to weigh heavier units, such as fruit. One pound=16 ounces


A.    pound


B.    ounce


III.    temperature


Two ways to measure temperature: Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Fahrenheit: Freezing Point: 32 degrees Fahrenheit
Boiling Point: 212 degrees Fahrenheit
Celsius: Freezing Point: 0 degrees Celsius
Boiling Point: 100 degrees Celsius


A.    Celsius


B.    Fahrenheit


IV.    volume


•5.MD.3. Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
Liters represent large amounts of fluid. For example, a big bottle of coke is 2 liters of coke.
Fluid ounces are used to represent smaller amounts of fluid. For example, a can of coke is 20  fluid ounces.


A.    liter


B.    fluid ounces


V.     time


•2.MD.7. Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
There are two types of clock, Analog and Digital clocks. Analog clocks are the bigger clocks that shows the time by hands on the clock. Digital clocks show the time digitally. Time is measured in a.m. and p.m. A.m. means ante meridian or before noon. Therefore when you see a.m. after a time you know it is morning. P.m. stands for post meridian or after noon. Therefore when you see p.m. after a time you know it is after noon. Time is measured in units called seconds, minutes, and hours. Seconds are the smallest unit of time. Next is minutes, 60 seconds are equal to one minute. Next is hours, 60 minutes are equal to one hour.


A.    seconds


B.    minutes


C.    hours

  11. The map is cute and uses colors well to categorize different parts of the lesson. I like the diversity of topics that fit into this lesson. It looks like it could even be spread over a unit with different parts of the map taught each day.

  12. It's good you broke down the main concept (time- second, minute, hour) and had a common core standard specific to each main concept. You did a really good job explaining

  13. I thought you did a great job. You couldn't even tell you were nervous! The topic was really informative and fun and I think the kids would enjoy it.

  15. I think this is a creative way to teach measurement and time to children. When I was a child, I had a hard time understanding this. Her illustrations were cute and original. However, Kelsey's voice is small and hard to hear.
