In This Unit of Study…
Students select and use appropriate tools to measure the length of an object and the volume of liquid within a beaker and temperature by using both customary and metric units. They measure to the nearest centimeter, half inch, milliliter, half cup, quarter cup, and degree (Fahrenheit or Celsius). Students apply what they know about measurement to solve real-world problems involving any of the four operations with whole-number lengths, masses, weights, temperatures, or liquid volumes. Students should make connections between measurements on a linear scale and number line.
B.E.S.T. Benchmarks:
- MA.3.M.1.1 Select and use appropriate tools to measure the length of an object, the volume of liquid within a beaker, and temperature.
- MA.3.M.1.2 Solve real-world problems involving any of the four operations with whole-number lengths, masses, weights, temperatures, or liquid volumes.
- MA.3.DP.1.1 Collect and represent numerical and categorical data with whole-number values using tables, scaled pictographs, scaled bar graphs or line plots. Use appropriate titles, labels, and units.
- MA.3.DP.1.2 Interpret data with whole-number values represented with tables, scaled pictographs, circle graphs, scaled bar graphs or line plots by solving one- and two-step problems.
Overarching Key Concepts:
- Measure lengths to the nearest half and quarter inch
- Represent and interpret data on line plots
- Measure liquid volume and temperature and solve real-world measurement problems
