Grade 4: Math: Measurement

• explain the relationships between grams and kilograms as metric units of mass, and between litres and millilitres as metric units of capacity, and use benchmarks for these units to estimate mass and capacity
• use metric prefixes to describe the relative size of different metric units, and choose appropriate units and tools to measure length, mass, and capacity
• solve problems involving elapsed time by applying the relationships between different units of time
• identify angles and classify them as right, straight, acute, or obtuse  
• use the row and column structure of an array to measure the areas of rectangles and to show that the area of any rectangle can be found by multiplying its side lengths
• apply the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the unknown measurement when given two of the three
