Checkpoint Solutions
SOL 4.7 The student will
a) estimate and measure length, and describe the result in both metric and U.S. Customary units; and
b) identify equivalent measurements between units within the U.S. Customary system (inches and feet; feet
and yards; inches and yards; yards and miles) and between units within the metric system (millimeters and
centimeters; centimeters and meters; and millimeters and meters).
