COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
Misconceptions and errors may result if students don’t understand how the size of a unit relates to the number of units needed to measure a length. Errors may also result if students:
- assume the larger/longer a unit is, the more that are needed to measure a length.
- think inches are smaller/shorter than centimeters.
- confuse units (e.g., inches with centimeters or feet with yards).
- misalign the ruler or use the wrong ruler when measuring a length.
TEACHING FOCUS
Practice and Building Confidence
Help students pay careful attention to the words and the numbers in each problem. Build confidence with independent practice with measuring/comparing different units.
REVIEW THE TEST QUESTIONS
Review the questions students missed on the assessment. This will help you find the misconceptions they have and specifics on their weaknesses, which may help guide your RTI teaching. The video below will show you how to find their test results and access the test questions.
