Multiplication Facts: 2-12’s 3.MD.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. • Identify items that can be measured in liquid volume units. • Understand the relative size of 1 liter. • Use unit size to estimate liquid volume (capacity). • Solve one-step word problems involving liquid volume (capacity).

Math Vocabulary Words 1. liquid volume the amount of space a liquid takes up. 2. liter a unit used to measure liquid volume in the metric system; 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters. 3. mass the amount of matter in an object; measuring the mass of an object is one way to measure how heavy it is. Units of mass include the gram and kilogram. 4. gram a unit of mass in the metric system; a paper clip has a mass of about 1 gram. 1,000 grams is equivalent to 1 kilogram. 5. kilogram a unit of mass in the metric system; 1 kilogram is equivalent to 1,000 grams. Review the following key terms. 6. measure to determine length, mass, or liquid volume by comparing to a standard. 7. to estimate to give an approximate number or answer based on mathematical thinking. 8. an estimate a close guess made using mathematical thinking.
