Grade 3 Unit 8 Measurement
Unit 8 Measurement
Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas
In this unit, students expand their knowledge of measuring length in customary and metric units. They estimate and measure lengths and develop understandings of perimeter and area. Students will also estimate and measure liquid volume using customary and metric units.
Standards:
3.MG.1 The student will reason mathematically using standard units (U.S. Customary and metric) with appropriate tools to estimate and measure objects by length, weight/mass, and liquid volume to the nearest half or whole unit.
3.MG.2 The student will use multiple representations to estimate and solve problems, including those in context, involving area and perimeter (in both U.S. Customary and metric units).
3.MG.4 The student will identify, describe, classify, compare, combine, and subdivide polygons.
Skills:
- Length Customary & Metric
- Volume Customary & Metric
- Perimeter
- Area
