Modular Math: Measurement

Welcome to Measurement! This unit of Modular Math focuses on the various types of measurement, from height and weight to distance, length, and speed. Starting in Foundations (Kindergarten equivalent), students will learn some basic skills with length, height, and weight along with measuring days, seasons, and years. Because there is so much to learn at this level, Step 1 is really a “part B” of Foundations and goes deeper into using a ruler, measuring in inches and feet, volume and capacity, and more! Take a look at the list below to see how the different levels have been adjusted from there. As we work our way up, we’ll explore standard and non-standard units of measurement, when to use each one, how to convert between different units, and so much more! Our spiral and mastery style program introduces basic measurement concepts and continues to reinforce them throughout the entire program.

What level should I get? We want to help you find the perfect spot for your student and have come up with a number of ways to help you both estimate and pinpoint the best starting point. Measurement is adjusted a little differently than other units, so take a look at the suggestions and then try out the placement test!

Foundations: Kindergarten
Step 1: Kindergarten
Step 2: Grade 1
Step 3: Grade 2
Step 4: Grade 3
Step 5: Grade 4
Step 6: Grade 5/6

Once you know around where your student will fit, you'll want to take our simple, online placement tests. These tests are designed to determine if you are ready for a particular level. So if you wanted to see if your student was ready for Step 3, you would take the step 3 placement test. This will be testing them on the content from step 2 to see if they have learned these concepts. If they get less than 80%, we recommend trying a lower placement test. If they get 80% or higher, we recommend taking the next step up (and continuing until you hit a lower percentage). If your student wants to move forward with a step but has a few gaps, you can simply purchase the skill builder for those concepts to get them ready while you wait for your math to come in!
