Strand B	Measurements
Standard	The student measures quantities in the real world and uses the measures to solve problems.

Benchmarks

MA.B.1.1.1.1	The student uses and describes basic measurement concepts including length, weight, digital and analog time, temperature, and capacity. 1^st-list, FCAT II		Math
MA.B.1.1.2.1	The student uses standard customary and metric (centimeter, inch) and nonstandard units, such as links or blocks, in measuring real quantities. measures length, weight, or capacity of an object using standard and nonstandard units (for example, pounds, grams, or wooden blocks).		Math

Strand B	Measurements
Standard	The student compares, contrasts, and converts within systems of measurement (both standard/nonstandard and metric/customary).

Benchmarks

MA.B.2.1.1.1	The student uses direct (measured) and indirect (not measured) comparisons to order objects according to some measurable characteristics (length, weight). FCAT I, FCAT II		Math
MA.B.2.1.2.1	The student understands the need for a uniform unit of measure to communicate in real-world situations. FCAT I, FCAT II		Math

Strand B	Measurements
Standard	The student estimates measurements in real-world problem situations.

Benchmarks
MA.B.3.1.1.1	The student, using a variety of strategies, estimates lengths, widths, time intervals, and money and compares them to actual measurements. 1-list, FCAT I, FCAT II estimates and measures the passage of time using before or after; yesterday, today, or tomorrow; day or night; morning, afternoon, or evening; hour or half-hour.

Strand B	Measurements
Standard	The student selects and uses appropriate units and instruments for measurement to achieve the degree of precision and accuracy required in real-world situations.

Benchmarks

MA.B.4.1.1.1	The student selects and uses an object to serve as a unit of measure, such as a paper clip, eraser, or marble. FCAT I selects and uses an appropriate nonstandard unit to measure length, weight, time, and capacity.		Math
MA.B.4.1.2.1	The student selects and uses appropriate instruments, such as scales, rulers, clocks, and technology to measure within customary or metric systems. 1^st-list FCAT I, FCAT II knows appropriate standard tools for measuring linear dimensions, weight, capacity, and temperature. knows appropriate tools (clocks and calendar) for measuring time (including days, weeks, months).

Strand C	Geometry and Spatial Sense
Standard	The student visualizes and illustrates ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed.

Benchmarks
MA.C.2.1.1.1	The student understands basic concepts of spatial relationships, symmetry, and reflection. 1^st-list FCAT I, FCAT II		Weather

Strand C	Geometry and Spatial Sense
Standard	The student uses coordinate geometry to locate objects in both two and three dimensions and to describe objects algebraically.

Benchmarks
MA.C.3.1.1.1	The student uses real-life experiences and physical materials to describe, classify, compare, and sort geometric figures, including squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, cubes, rectangular solids, spheres, pyramids, cylinders, and prisms, according to the number of faces, edges, bases, and corners.
