TEKS Math K.7

K.7 is a knowledge and skills statement. These are the student expectations under it.

• K.7.A

  give an example of a measurable attribute of a given object, including length, capacity, and weight

• K.7.B

  compare two objects with a common measurable attribute to see which object has more of/less of the attribute and describe the difference

01

What Students Need to Do

Students identify whether an object can be described by its length, weight, or capacity. They compare two objects directly and tell which has more or less of that attribute.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students name an attribute that can be compared, such as length, weight, or capacity. They directly compare two objects and correctly say longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, holds more, or holds less.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may confuse size with weight and assume the taller object is always heavier. They may compare lengths without lining up one end, or judge capacity by container height alone.

04

How to Assess It

Show a pencil and a crayon, then ask: “Which is longer, and how can you prove it?” Have students align the ends and answer aloud.

1. 01

   Set up stations where students align classroom objects, use a balance scale, and pour cups of rice between containers.

2. 02

   Ask, “Can a small object be heavier than a large object?” Have students explain with an example.

3. 03

   Play Attribute Sort by having students draw object cards, choose length, weight, or capacity, and compare the pictured pair.

4. 04

   Compare two lunch containers to decide which holds more, then test by filling each with the same scoop.
