Standards Covered
- OGM.5.MD.4Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 5 / Grade 4 (Age 9) · Grade 4Apply formulas for the perimeter and area of rectangles, squares (P = 2l + 2w, P = 4s, A = l × w), and composite rectilinear figures (using cm², dm², m²); explore the relationship between fixed perimeter and varying area and vice versa.
- OGM.5.MD.1Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 5 / Grade 4 (Age 9) · Grade 4Know relative sizes of measurement units within metric (km, m, dm, cm, mm; t, kg, g, mg; hl, l, dl, cl, ml) and customary systems (lb, oz; gal, qt, pt, c; yd, ft, in); convert from larger to smaller units and express conversion tables.
