March 2016
In Unit 10, children review and extend their previous work with measures of length, weight, and capacity. Measurements will be displayed in graphs and frequency tables. The emphasis will be on hands-on activities to show that anything that involves measures begins with the use of measuring tools. Students will also extend previous informal work with the median and mode of a set of data and introduce the standard method of calculating mean. Unit 10 has three main areas of focus:
- To review units, tools, and measures of weight, length, and capacity,
- To introduce the mean of a set of data, and
- To gain experience with plotting points on a coordinate grid.
