- Math:
- 4.1: Unit 7: Measurement- ***Unit 7 Assessment- Friday, April 22***
- Standards throughout the unit:
- MGSE4.MD.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. a. Understand the relationship between gallons, cups, quarts, and pints. b. Express larger units in terms of smaller units within the same measurement system. c. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.
- MGSE4.MD.2. Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
- MGSE4.MD.3 Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor.
- MGSE4.MD.8 Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
- MGSE4.MD.4 Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1 2 , 1 4 , 1 8 ). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with common denominators by using information presented in line plots. For example, from a line plot, find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
- MGSE4.MD.5. Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement: a. An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles. b. An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
- MGSE4.MD.6. Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
- MGSE4.MD.7 Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into nonoverlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol or letter for the unknown angle measure.
- 4.2 (Ms. Smith): Unit 4: Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, & Dividing Fractions
- MGSE5.NF.3 Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Example: 3 5 can be interpreted as “3 divided by 5 and as 3 shared by 5”.
- MGSE5.MD.2 Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots.
- MGSE5.NF.7 Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.1
- c. Solve real world problems involving division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers and division of whole numbers by unit fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, how much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share ½ lb of chocolate equally? How many 1/3-cup servings are 2 cups of raisins.

Parent Placement Survey from Ms. Zarzour:
Hello parents!
This May, I will work with teachers and other administrators to place your child in a class for next school year. We take a lot of pride in our process and do our very best to consider every child and discuss where we feel they will be the most successful. This form is OPTIONAL, but if you would like to provide parent input for us to consider, please complete the form below by May 4th, 2022.
Information could include:
- Friends they do well with/ students they have a very hard time being with
- Classroom environment that works best for them/ does not work
- Teacher personality and structure that works best for them/ does not work
Thank you for being our partner in this process! If you have any questions please reach out to me at [email protected] or call me at 470-254-2814.
