Geometry and Measurement
Fourth Grade

STATE GOAL 7: Estimate, make and use measurements of objects, quantities and relationships and determine acceptable levels of accuracy. 
STATE GOAL 9: Use geometric methods to analyze, categorize and draw conclusions about points, lines, planes and space.

Students will be able to demonstrate:  
  • calculating length and perimeter within customary and metric systems
  • calculating area and perimeter of compound figures composed of two adjoining rectangular figures
  • determining and communicating possible methods for estimating a given measure, selecting proper units in both customary and metric systems
  • graphing, locating, identifying points, and describing paths using ordered pairs in the first quadrant
  • identifying geometric images resulting from reflections (flips), translations (slides), or rotations (turns)
  • comparing geometric figures and determining their properties including parallel, perpendicular, similar, congruent, and reflection symmetry
  • identifying flat patterns that will fold into familiar 3-D shapes
 
Topics Introduced
  • Construct or draw figures with given perimeter and area
  • Length to the nearest inch
  • Weight/mass in customary and metric units (oz., lbs./g, kg)
  • Volume in customary and metric units (cups, pints, quarts, and gallons/milliliters, and liters)
  • Conversions within customary and metric units
  • Estimate conversions between measures
  • Geometric figures in practical settings
  • Two- and three- dimensional geometry
  • Time: Calculate elapsed time answers when the endpoints of the interval can occur at any time
 
Students will practice:  
  • constructing or drawing figures with given perimeter and area
  • calculating area or weight/mass within customary and metric systems
  • converting given measures within customary and metric units
  • estimating conversions between measures within customary and metric systems
  • identifying and describing how geometric figures are used in practical settings
  • describing and drawing representations of geometric relationships, patterns, symmetries, and designs in two- and three- dimensions with and without technology
