Measurement of Weight: Non-Standard Units
Students will compare and measure the weight of objects using non-standard units (e.g., blocks, marbles).
Key Questions
- Explain why non-standard units can be inconsistent for measuring weight.
- Construct a balance scale to compare the weight of two objects.
- Analyze real-world situations where comparing weights is essential.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
