Math Assessment: Measurement

Grade 1

Big Idea

Objects and shapes have attributes that can be described, measured,

and compared.

Curricular Competencies:

Students are expected to be able to do the following:

Reasoning and Analyzing

 Estimate reasonably
 Develop mental math strategies and abilities to make sense of
quantities

Understanding and solving

 Develop, demonstrate, and apply mathematical understanding
through play, inquiry, and problem solving

Communicating and representing

 Communicate mathematical thinking in many ways

Connecting and reflecting

 Reflect on mathematical thinking
 Connect mathematical concepts to each other and to other areas
and personal interests

Curricular Content

 Direct measurement with non-standard units (non-uniform and

uniform)
 Non Uniform units are not consistent in size; uniform units are consistent in size.
 Understanding the importance of using a baseline for direct comparison in linear
measurement
 Using multiple copies of a unit
 Iterating a single unit for measuring

Beginning Developing Applying Extending

Estimate how long each Caterpillar is. Then measure each caterpillar with
a Paper Clip.

CIRCLE which window is the Widest?

What are two things you learnt about Measurement and one thing you
wished you learnt?
