Description
Publisher's Description of Exploring Measurement Concepts Grades 2-3
This resource features more than 40 classroom-tested activities for exploring measurement. Students will explore length using rulers and yardsticks; mass and volume using scales and liters; and area and perimeter using color tiles and graph paper.
In keeping with the current math standards, students are asked to:
- Estimate and compare lengths in standard units
- Estimate and measure the mass and volume of classroom objects
- Select and use appropriate measurement tools
- Solve word problems involving length, distance, mass and volume
- Tell and write time to nearest minute using a.m. and p.m.
- Generate measurement data and display in graphs and line plots
- Calculate area and perimeter, relating area to addition and multiplication
These can be used as small-group work or whole-class activities.
Category Description for Exploring Measurement Concepts
Manipulatives provide wonderful learning tools to teach math concepts. These manipulative-based activity books use linking cubes and other household items in grades 1-2, and yardsticks, meter sticks, metric scales, liter cups, and color tiles in grades 2-3. With the use of hands-on activities, children learn that some units are more appropriate than others for certain measurement tasks. Pre-assessment pages in each book provide you with a baseline of your student's basic number sense. In grades K-1, students learn basic measurement, how to compare objects, how to sort and graph, and tell and write to the nearest hour and half-hour. Grades 2-3 learn to estimate and compare lengths as well as mass and volume, solve word problems, tell and write time to the nearest minute, and much more. The lessons are easy to follow, and reproducible activity pages are in the back. Most of the activities are group oriented but can easily be adapted for homeschool use.
