Let's eliminate educational inequity together
Grade 1
Std 1.22
They recognize the need for measuring these attributes (measurement can answer ‘how much’ instead of having to be content with more/less).

Std 2.25
They know standard units for length (m, cm), weight (kg) and capacity (l, ml) and use these units to measure using simple measurement tools like scale, metre rod, weighing balance and litre jug, measuring cup etc. They have an idea of the size of these units through concrete examples and use these units for measurement and estimation.
Std 2.26

Std 3.38
They know how to check for a leap year. They are able to read time to the nearest minute using ‘minutes past’, ‘minutes to’ (and also ‘half past’, ‘quarter past’, ‘quarter to’). They understand that ‘forty minutes past six’ is same as ‘twenty minutes to seven’.
Std 3.39
They know the number of seconds in a minute and understand the hour-minute-second relation.
Std 3.40
They have an idea of the duration of a second besides that of a minute and an hour. They know the duration of some activities in seconds e.g. winking of an eye, drinking a glass of water. They estimate the duration of various activities/events in seconds besides those in minutes and hours and actually measure and compare with the estimates.
Std 3.41
They thus become able to choose a suitable unit (from hours, minutes and seconds) to measure the time of an event.
Std 3.42
They are able to calculate the duration of time like from 10 p.m. to 2.20 a.m.. They are able to add and subtract time (involving simple conversion from bigger units to smaller).
- SWBAT calculate the time between two given times (no am/pm conversion, only times at half-hour/hour)
Std 3.43
In concrete situations of buying and selling, they add and subtract money in decimal notation. They give change and find total value fluently.
- SWBAT add/subtract money (in rupees only) in word problems (EI 2.31)
- SWBAT calculate change and identify multiple ways of making a given amount of money
- SWBAT identify paise as quarter/half/three-quarters of a rupees
Extra Topics
Calendar, Time/Day Conversions, concept of area(in IGCSE 3rd)
- SWBAT identify month, day, day of the week, and year on a calendar (EI 2.26, IGCSE 3rd)
- SWBAT identify the months of the year (EI 2.26)
- SWBAT convert between minutes/hours, hours/days, days/weeks, and months/years
Grade 4
Std 4.25
Students extend their knowledge of metric units for length, weight and capacity completely from milli to kilo. They understand the pattern within metric system of units for, say length, and know that it is similar for others too like weight and capacity.
- SWBAT distinguish between units used for length, weight, and capacity
- SWBAT choose the appropriate unit of measure for a given object (for length, weight, and capacity)
Std 4.26
They have an idea of the size of the units and give examples of where the commonly used units (kg,g,mg,km,m,cm,mm,l,ml) are used/applied.
Std 4.29
They know how to convert between the units (both from bigger to smaller and smaller to bigger involving whole numbers only e.g. 3000mg = 3g).
Std 4.30
In meaningful contexts- they add, subtract, multiply and divide measures including those involving simple whole number conversion between units.
Std 4.31
In concrete situations, they are able to carry out all four operations on time including those involving whole number conversion between units.
