Making Meaning

Enduring Understandings The students will understand that…

• measurement involves a comparison of an attribute of an item or situation with a unit that has the same attribute. Lengths are compared to units of length, areas to units of area, time to units of time, and so on.

Essential Questions • What does it mean to find the area? • What does it mean to find the circumference? • How does the relationship between the

dimensions of a two-dimensional figure relate to the formula for area or perimeter?
