Team adds proposed standard for converting between measurement systems to math reasoning
Summary
Members agreed to add a high‑school standard on converting between customary and metric systems, adapting K–8 language to read 'between systems' and to include application to real‑world problems; editors will add the line at row 35 and update coding.
The advisory team considered adding a standard requiring students to convert between measurement systems and recommended borrowing existing K–8 language but changing the preposition to indicate conversions 'between' systems. One member noted the current 5th‑grade language reads "convert customary and metric measurement units within a single system" and proposed changing it to "between systems." Members agreed the standard could be added at row 35 with an accompanying real‑world problem phrasing and that the coding for adjacent rows should be updated.
The group recommended keeping the real‑world application language ("use those conversions to solve real world problems") but avoided listing examples to allow teacher flexibility. Editors were asked to draft the line and update coding at the next standard.
