Learning Goal

Part of: Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit — 2 of 3 cluster items

Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money

4.MD.A.2

**4.MD.A.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.

What you'll learn

  1. Solve one-step and multistep word problems that involve measurement quantities — distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses, and money — using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division
  2. Convert a measurement from a larger unit to a smaller unit within the same system (e.g., feet to inches, hours to minutes) as a necessary step before performing an operation
  3. Solve measurement word problems that involve simple fractions or decimals, connecting to fraction and place-value reasoning
  4. Represent measurement quantities and solutions on number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale
  5. Determine which operation(s) a measurement context requires by analyzing the relationship described in the problem (combining, comparing, grouping, partitioning)
