2.3.  Measurement and Estimation

3.  Select and use appropriate instruments and units for measuring quantities such as length, perimeter, area, volume, weight, time, and temperature.

     Solve problems using time without regrouping; use regrouping

     Estimate and measure pictorial and concrete objects with standard (e.g. US customary and metric) units—length, width, temperature, capacity, area, perimeter and volume

     Add and subtract measurements without regrouping; use regrouping

     Convert linear measurements within the same system using conversion chart or hint (mm, cm, m, km, mL, L, g, kg, cup, pint, quart, gallon, in, ft, yd, oz, lb) without any hints, dm, mg, metric ton, fl. oz., ton

     Use a ruler measure to nearest 1/8 inch or centimeter (1/16th) inch
