About this topic
Before you begin
Calculate money totals and change, convert measurements, work with time, and distinguish area, perimeter and angle relationships.
Learning goals
- Represent and calculate monetary amounts

- Measure covered area in equal square units
- Construct area and perimeter contrasts with plane figures
- Calculate the length of a plane figure's complete boundary
- Calculate the area of a plane figure
- Compare an angle with a right angle
- Compare two angles by their openings, not their arm lengths

Choose a lesson
Work through them in order.
- Not startedMoney totals and changeNextTrack money in and out. Find missing prices. Compare baskets with the same budget.
- Not startedConvert compound measurementsNextKeep the measured quantity fixed while changing between compound and smaller units.
- Not startedSeconds and measured durationsNextConvert minutes and seconds and measure short durations with a stopwatch.
- Not startedArea and perimeterNextCover the inside for area. Trace the outside for perimeter. Calculate both for rectangles and squares.
- Not startedTurns, parallel lines and square cornersNextCompare openings with a right angle. Draw parallel and perpendicular lines. Fix wrong drawings.
- Not startedThe 24-hour clock and durationsNextCheck clock times. Find and compare durations. Allow for breaks. Keep each time’s day.
