This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important aspects of the task and its potential use.

For this task, students view four letters and imagine that each square in the picture measures one centimeter on each side. Students use this information to find the area of each letter.

In this task, students measure lengths to the nearest eighth and quarter-inch and record the information on a line plot.

For this task, students estimate and compute sums of mixed numbers in a recipe to determine how much punch the receipe will make.

For this task, students compare the relative volumes of boxes in order to calculate the mass of clay required to fill them.

Students are shown the relationship between analog clocks and angles. Students measure the angles of given times on the clock, in addition to answering questions about clocks and angles.
