3rd Grade Time, Perimeter, Area, Weight & Volume Math Curriculum

The 3rd Grade Measurement Unit starts with telling time and moves to measuring time intervals, including elapsed time, finding start times, and finding end times. Students will learn about perimeter by measuring perimeter and learn about area by tiling with square units. From there, they will explore liquid volume and weight measurements with both metric and customary units.

This unit includeS 19 individual lessons with hands-on activities and independent practice. Exit tickets for each lesson and 5 Mini-Unit Quick Checks will help you track student learning and progress. A formative Unit Assessment will help you understand your students’ mastery of the material and plan your next steps.

Each lesson includes the following :

• Mini-Lesson: Bright, engaging digital lessons introduce and model each concept, including interactive questions and error analysis tasks to check understanding.
• Math Mat & Task Cards: Task cards guide students through hands-on activities designed to reinforce the concepts introduced in the Mini-Lesson.
• Practice Pages: Perfect for in-class practice or homework, these activities provide plenty of support, but ask students to start demonstrating their understanding more independently.
• Exit Tickets provide a brief snapshot of student understanding for you at the end of each math block.
