Part one: Calendar, Time,
Capacity and Temperature
This unit focuses on many different pieces. We will be exploring a variety of things we measure every day and learning the specific units associated with each task. Addition and subtraction will be essential when we learn about money. The goals of the unit are the following;
1) Use calendars to show the passage of days, weeks, and months. Students will need to know how to look ahead and also look back.
2) Use analog and digital clocks to measure time. Students will need to know how to tell time and write time. Writing time will be done in many different ways. With numbers (3:45), and with words (quarter to 4, half past 5, quarter after 10, 5 minutes to 11)
3) Use a thermometer to measure temperature. ( *C = Degrees Celsius)
4) Measure the mass of an object in grams and kilograms. Know the symbol for grams (G) and Kilograms (KG)
5)Measure the capacity of a container in litres. Know the symbol for litres (L)

Capacity and Mass
At the end of this unit students will:
- When counting by days (either forward or backward) you do NOT count the day that you begin on. But you do count the day that you end on.
- If something occurs every week, every two weeks, etc. it will always occur on the same day of the week
- Always look closely at the hour hand. It is always between two numbers (unless it is the beginning of a new hour - 8:00). As the minute hand moves closer to the 12, sometimes the hour hand is VERY CLOSE to the next hour. But it is imporant to remember that we always look back to tell what hour it is, until the minute hand reaches the 12.
- Water freezes at 0 degress Celsius. Anything under 0 on the thermometer is expressed as minus. Ex. -5 = minus 5 degrees Celsius
- Know how much each coin is worth. Know how to count up to make change, or subtract from the larger amount to make change
- Know that 1000 Grams equals 1 Kilogram
