Topic 4 was focused on measurement. We learned that you must use standard units of measurement to be sure that your measurements will be accurate. There are two main standard unit systems - customary units, used here in the United States; and, metric units used just about everywhere else in the world.
We investigated measurement problems with both systems and developed formulas to find perimeter. For example, to find the perimeter of a rectangle you could add all four sides, add the short side and the long side and double the sum, or double the short side and double the long side and add the products.
