Type: Interactive/Game

Overview:

Dinosaurs need to drink a LOT of water, and this event showcases their incredible sipping skills! The goal of the game is to pair the right sized cup with the right dinosaur. This game will help students compare object attributes like length and volume in a fun way. 

Content Standard(s):
Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: K
17. Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common to see which object has "more of" or "less of" the attribute and describe the difference.

Example: Directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as "taller" or "shorter."
Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Use direct comparisons of physical objects to determine and explain which object has more of or less of the attribute.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Attribute

Grade: 3
19. Estimate and measure liquid volumes and masses of objects using liters (l), grams (g), and kilograms (kg).

a. Use the four operations to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes given in the same metric units.
Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Accurately measure the liquid volume and mass of objects by selecting and using appropriate tools (such as balance and spring scales, graduated cylinders, beakers, and measuring cups) to determine measures to the nearest whole unit.
  • Given an image of a measurement device, determine the volume or mass shown in the image.
  • Use the four operations to solve one-step word problems involving liquid volume or mass measurements.
  • Given two measurement quantities or two images of a measuring device, determine the total volume/mass, or find the difference between the two volumes/masses.
  • Given the volume or mass of an object, determine the volume/mass of more than one object using multiplication.
  • Given the total volume or mass of multiple identical objects, determine the volume/mass of a single object using division.
  • Explain and justify solutions using a variety of representations.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Liquid volume
  • Mass
  • Liter
  • Gram
  • Kilogram
  • Metric unit
  • Capacity
  • Matter
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • Personal benchmarks for metric standard units of measure, mass (gram & kilogram) and liquid volume (liter), and the use of related tools (such as balance, spring scales, graduated cylinders, beakers, measuring cups) for measurement to those units.
  • Characteristics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division contexts that involve measurements.
  • How to represent quantities and operations physically, pictorially, or symbolically.
  • Strategies to solve one-step word problems that involve measurement.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Measure liquid volume and mass in metric standard units.
  • Choose appropriate measurement tools and units of measure.
  • Represent quantities and operations physically, pictorially, or symbolically,
  • Use a variety of strategies to solve one-step word problems that involve measurement.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • Capacity indicates the measure of the volume (dry or liquid) in a container.
  • Mass indicates the amount of matter in an object and can be represented with different sized units.
Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.3.19.1: Define liquid volume, mass, grams, kilograms, and liters.
M.3.19.2: Recognize how the standard units of measure compare to one another.
M.3.19.3: Identify key terms for word problems.
M.3.19.4: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps.
M.3.19.5: Recall basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts.
M.3.19.6: Describe measurable attributes of objects such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.

Prior Knowledge Skills:
  • Measure objects using standard units.
