Unit 7
Measurement and Volume
Parent Letter
Standards
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
NF.4 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.
b. Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction products as rectangular areas.
(NF.4b assessed in this unit, NF.4a assessed in Unit 4)
Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
MD.1 Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
Geometric Measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and division.
MD.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
a. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a “unit cube,” is said to have “one cubic unit” of volume, and can be used to measure volume.
b. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
MD.4 Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
MD.5 Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
a. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height

Metric System
The metric system is a method of measurement that is a decimal based system. This means the system is based on dividing or multiplying by tens. This system is used throughout the entire world. The United States does not use this type of measurement; however, you will see it all over the USA. Just look at a water bottle or on the tongue of your shoe. Chances are you will see metric measurements listed.
