What this worksheet practices
3.MD.D.8 · Common Core Math · Grade 3
Measurement & Data
Children work on measuring time, length, liquid volume and weight, finding area and perimeter, and reading and making graphs.
How to use this worksheet
- 1
Time the fact sheets once a week and chart the times. Beating last week is more motivating than any score out of thirty.
- 2
Before "Division as Sharing", share real objects — twelve crackers among three plates. Dividing is easier to understand when a child has done it with their hands.
- 3
On "Area and Perimeter", ask your child to trace the perimeter with a finger and count the squares inside separately. Mixing the two up is the most common error.
