Mathematics Florida Standards for Mathematical Content:
Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.
MAFS.2.MD.1.1 Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate
tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
MAFS.2.MD.1.2 Describe the inverse relationship between the size of a unit and
number of units needed to measure a given object.
MAFS.2.MD.1.3 Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.
Relate addition and subtraction to length.
MAFS.2.MD.1.4 Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another
expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.
MAFS.2.MD.2.5 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems
involving lengths that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as
drawing or rulers) and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent
the problem.
MAFS.2.MD.2.6 Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line
diagram with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, …, and
represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram.
Represent and interpret data.
MFS.2.MD.4.9 Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of several objects
to the nearest whole unit, or by making repeated measurements of the same object.
Show the measurements by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked
off in whole-number units.

Notes on Assessment:
Unit 9 Assessment – Go Math Ch. 9
Please ensure that you print this
test at FULL scale. Do NOT change
the margins. Prior to administering
to students, measure the objects to
ensure that that the measurements
are correct.
See common performance task link
below.
Unpacking the Standards for this Unit:
Students will build upon their knowledge of customary units of measurement from Ch. 8. Students will apply their
knowledge of customary units of measurement to measure lengths using metric units of measurement (centimeters and
meters). Students will measure objects using two units of different lengths such as centimeters and meters. This is a
difficult concept for young children, and will require numerous experiences for students to predict, measure, and discuss
outcomes. As students estimate, they must consider the size of the metric unit. Estimation creates a problem to be
solved rather than a task to be completed.
Common Performance Task for this Unit:
Shoes: In this performance task students will measure the length of shoes and determine the difference in lengths.
Students will also use a number line to determine the different lengths of shoes. Students will be expected to explain
their thinking with written responses.
Click here for the performance task and rubric.
Future learning:
Students need to be comfortable with metric units of measure. This will enable them, in third grade, to measure
accurately to the nearest centimeter and meter. They will use their knowledge of metric units when they are measuring
lengths to determine perimeter and area.

Sample HOT Questions: Use these to facilitate student discussions. (SMP 1, 3)
 Is it more efficient to measure using one unit cube or several unit cubes? Explain your thinking.
 How would your measurement change if you left space between the cubes?
 How could you measure the length of the teacher’s desk using only a centimeter ruler?
 Can you use a meter stick to measure the width of your math book? Explain your thinking.
 Is there ever a time where you would measure the length of an object using both centimeters and meters? If so
give an example.
 How is using a ruler measuring centimeters similar to measuring inches? How is it different?
 What would happen if you didn’t start at 0?
