Real World Problems (Metric Measurement)

3rd Grade: Chapter 12 Outline

Week 34 - Week 35

Essential Questions:

  • How can I construct a bar model to solve real-world measurement problems?

Content:

Students will know and understand:

    • Bar models can help solve measurement problems.

Skills:

Students Will:

    • Draw bar models to solve 2 step measurement problems.
    • Choose the correct operation to solve 2 step measurement problems.

Upon completion of Unit 12:

  • 3.OA.A.3. Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities.
  • 3.OA.A.4. Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers.
  • 3.OA.B.5. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.
  • 3.OA.B.6. Understand division as an unknown-factor problem.
  • 3.OA.C.7. Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
  • 3.NBT.A.2. Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
  • 3.MD.A.2. Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.
  • MP.1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
  • MP.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
  • MP.4. Model with mathematics.
  • MP.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
