Math K.7
Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to directly compare measurable attributes. The student is expected to:
- (1) give an example of a measurable attribute
of a given object, including length, capacity,
and weight; and
- (A) compare two objects with a common measurable attribute to see which object has more of/less of the attribute and describe the difference.
