Alabama Course of Study Standards: 21

Select and use an appropriate unit of measurement for a given attribute (length, mass, liquid volume, time) within one system of units: metric - km, m, cm; kg, g, l, ml; customary - lb, oz; time - hr, min, sec.
  1. Within one system of units, express measurements of a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.

Arizona Academic Standards: 4.MD.A.1

Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units which could include km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit and in a smaller unit in terms of a larger unit. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1,12), 2,24), (3,36).

Common Core State Standards: Math.4.MD.1 or 4.MD.A.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. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36), ...

Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Standards: 4.MD.1

Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm, mm; kg, g, mg; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36), ...

North Carolina - Standard Course of Study: 4.MD.1

Know relative sizes of measurement units. Solve problems involving metric measurement.
  • Measure to solve problems involving metric units: centimeter, meter, gram, kilogram, Liter, milliliter.
  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide to solve one-step word problems involving whole-number measurements of length, mass, and capacity that are given in metric units.

New York State Next Generation Learning Standards: 4.MD.1

Know relative sizes of measurement units: ft., in.; km, m, cm
e.g., An inch is about the distance from the tip of your thumb to your first knuckle.
A foot is the length of two dollar bills.
A meter is about the height of a kitchen counter.
A kilometer is 2 1/2 laps around most tracks.
Know the conversion factor and use it to convert measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit: ft., in.; km, m, cm; hr., min., sec.
e.g., Know that 1 ft. is 12 times as long as 1 in. and express the length of a 4 ft. snake as 48 in.
Given the conversion factor, convert all other measurements within a single system of measurement from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
e.g., Given the conversion factors, convert kilograms to grams, pounds to ounces, or liters to milliliters.
Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.
e.g., Generate a conversion table for feet and inches.

Ohio's Learning Standards: 4.MD.1

Know relative sizes of the metric measurement units within one system of units. Metric units include kilometer, meter, centimeter, and millimeter; kilogram and gram; and liter and milliliter. Express a larger measurement unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement conversions in a two-column table.For example, express the length of a 4-meter rope in centimeters. Because 1 meter is 100 times as long as a 1 centimeter, a two-column table of meters and centimeters includes the number pairs 1 and 100, 2 and 200, 3 and 300, ...
* * Learning Farm includes imperial units in addition to metric units.<

Tennessee Academic Standards: 4.MD.A.1
