Measurement and Data
Unit description: In this unit students will learn to tell time to the hour and half-hour using analog and digital clocks. The students will learn to identify coins and their values and to use the cent (¢) sign. The students will count combinations of dimes and pennies within 100 cents.The students also learn to measure and compare lengths using standards and nonstandard measuring tools. The students will organize, represent and interpret data, including asking and answering questions and comparing amounts across categories.
Essential Outcomes of the Unit
Measurement and Data- Tell and write time and money
1.MD.3a . Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks. Develop an understanding of common terms, such as, but not limited to, o’clock and half past.
1.MD.3b Recognize and identify coins (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter) and their value and use the cent symbol (¢) appropriately.
1.MD.3c Count a mixed collection of dimes and pennies and determine the cent value (total not to exceed 100 cents)
Measurement and Data- Represent and interpret data.
1.MD.4 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
Other Standards Addressed in the Unit
Measurement and Data- Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units
1.MD.1 Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
1.MD.2 Measure the length of an object using same-size “length units” placed end to end with no gaps or overlaps. Express the length of an object as a whole number of “length units.”
Essential Questions and Big Ideas
How do we know the time?
- Analog and digital clocks tell us the time.
What is money and how do we know its worth?
- Money is made up of bills and coins that have a certain value that can be exchanged for goods and services.
- American money is valued in dollars(bills) and cents(coins).
- The coins are:
- Penny: 1 cent, 1¢
- Nickel: 5 cents, 5¢
- Dime: 10 cents, 10¢
- Quarter: 25 cents, 25¢
How do we measure and compare lengths?
- Standard and non-standard tools can be used to measure lengths.
- Lengths of objects can be compared when measured.
How can data be displayed and analyzed?
- Data can be displayed using charts and graphs.
- Data can be analyzed by asking and answering questions and comparing amounts across categories.
