The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
3.MD.A. Measurement & Data: Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram. (CCSS: 3.MD.A.1)
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). (This excludes compound units such as cm3 and finding the geometric volume of a container.) 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. (This excludes multiplicative comparison problems, such as problems involving notions of “times as much.” See Appendix: Table 2.) (CCSS: 3.MD.A.2)
Use units of measurement appropriate to the type and magnitude of the quantity being measured. (Professional Skills: Information Literacy)
Make sense of problems involving measurement by building on real-world knowledge of time and objects and an understanding of the relative sizes of units. (MP1)
Represent problems of time and measurement with equations, drawings, or diagrams. (MP4)
Use appropriate measures and measurement instruments for the quantities given in a problem. (MP5)
Inquiry Questions
How can elapsed time be modeled on a number line to support the connection to addition and subtraction?
Coherence Connections
This expectation represents major work of the grade.
In Grade 2, students measure and estimate lengths in standard units and work with time and money.
In Grade 3, this expectation connects to developing an understanding of fractions as numbers, solving problems involving the four operations, and identifying and explaining patterns in arithmetic.
In Grade 4, students solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
Elapsed time, a.m., p.m., time interval, capacity, milliliter (mL), liter (L), mass, gram (g), kilogram (kg)
