# 2.MDR.5: Length Measurement and Data

Estimate and measure the lengths of objects and distance to solve problems found in real-life using standard units of measurement, including inches, feet, and yards and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions.

- Subject: Mathematics
- Appears in: Grade 2, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/math/grade-2.md

## Expectations

- **2.MDR.5.1**: Construct simple measuring instruments using unit models. Compare unit models to rulers.
- **2.MDR.5.2**: Estimate and measure the length of an object or distance to the nearest whole unit using appropriate units and standard measuring tools.
- **2.MDR.5.3**: Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another and express the length difference in terms of a standard-length unit.
- **2.MDR.5.4**: Ask questions and answer them based on gathered information, observations, and appropriate graphical displays to solve problems relevant to everyday life.
- **2.MDR.5.5**: Represent whole-number sums and differences within a standard unit of measurement on a number line diagram.
