5.11A - Area, Perimeter, Length, Weight, Capacity, and Time |
| The Texas Education Agency states: |
| Measurement units or their abbreviations will be used with numerical
answers as appropriate.
Students will find perimeter or area using the information in verbal or pictorial representations. Some measurements may be missing but can be identified using the attributes of the geometric figures. Problems involving weight, capacity, or time may require conversion of units and may have pictorial representations to aid the student in finding a solution. |
