5th Grade Measurement and Data Summary
In the fifth grade, students will be expected to convert measurement units within a given measurement system. For examples, students will be expected to know how to convert grams into milligrams.
Fifth graders are also expected to know how to use number lines to represent and interpret data. Students will be given a number line and must use that line that to show where a number falls on that line.
Another part of measurement and data for 5th graders is that they will learn how to find the volume of an object and how to use addition and multiplication in order to find that volume.
Materials:
Some materials that may help your child be successful with measurement and data are:
conversion tables- this handy table can be used for students who need a visual reminder of where the correct units of measurement are.
number line- students who need a visual representation of a number line may use this while working.
calculator-because we prefer students to be able to do the math without electronic aid, calculators are not recommended until students can show that they are able to do the work on the problem first.
