Grade 5. Measuring with precision using a range of units is the focus of this unit. Tools such as scales, clocks, balances, timers, and thermometers are analyzed for accuracy. Students make and test estimates of area, perimeter, and volume. Then students investigate problems and the strategies to solve them, using a variety of tools and units. Writing is an integral part of the lessons.
