In prekindergarten through grade 2 all students should
- NM-MEA.PK-2.1: Understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement
- NM-MEA.PK-2.2: Apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements
|
Understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement
- recognize the attributes of length, volume, weight, area, and time;
- compare and order objects according to these attributes;
- understand how to measure using nonstandard and standard units;
- select an appropriate unit and tool for the attribute being measured.

Apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements
- measure with multiple copies of units of the same size, such as paper clips laid end to end;
- use repetition of a single unit to measure something larger than the unit, for instance, measuring the length of a room with a single meterstick;
- use tools to measure;
- develop common referents for measures to make comparisons and estimates.
