Predecessor Standards:

  • 1.G.A.2
    Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. [Note: Students do not need to learn formal names such as "right rectangular prism"]
  • 2.MD.A.1
    Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

Successor Standards:

  • 5.MD.C.3
    Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

Same Level Standards:

  • 3.MD.C.6
    Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in., square ft., and non-standard units).
  • 3.MD.C.7.d
    Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real-world problems.
  • 3.MD.D.8
    Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
