Course
Time, Measurement, and Data
A Grade 3 math course that helps students solve elapsed time problems, measure length, mass, and capacity, and represent measurement data with graphs.
Time, Measurement, and Data
Course overview
This course helps Grade 3 students solve elapsed time problems, measure length, mass, and capacity, and represent measurement data with line plots and bar graphs. Students move from time intervals to units of measure and then to simple data displays.
What students will learn
- Find elapsed time on a number line.
- Solve time interval word problems.
- Choose units for length, mass, and capacity.
- Measure with rulers, scales, and containers.
- Show measurement data with line plots and bar graphs.
Lessons
- Elapsed Time Basics - Learn how to count on a number line and solve time problems.
- Measure Length, Mass, and Capacity - Learn how to choose the right unit and tool for each measurement.
- Line Plots and Simple Graphs - Learn how to represent measurement data and read simple graphs.
Parent guide
Work through the course in short sessions with a clock face, a ruler, a balance scale, and a few containers. Ask your child to explain how they know which unit, tool, or graph to use before they answer.
Completion
A student finishes this course when they can solve an elapsed time problem, choose the correct measurement unit, and show or read measurement data on a simple graph.
