How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole unit on time, mass and liquid volume, to do together the day before the test. Its 13 questions take the lessons in the test's order, with other times, things and numbers; a few ask in another way (which time comes first in the day, an end time from a clock, a story that asks when something ends). Questions 11 to 13 are for the states that teach them in 3rd grade, as on the test. There is no Score line: it is practice, not a grade. The pre-check and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Do the review together the day before the test, with a geared clock out so students can check the hour hand. Work a question, then let students try the next one on their own, and stop on any that trip up more than a few. Questions 11 to 13 are taught in 3rd grade in some states only: a class that follows the Common Core can stop after question 10. The keys name each question's lesson, so a question the class misses points to the lesson to go back to.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school. Read the kitchen clock together at odd times like 4:37, weigh fruit on a kitchen scale, and look for grams, kilograms and liters on food labels.

Tips for Success

  • On the number line, jump to the next quarter hour first, then by 15s
  • Count the ticks between the numbers on a scale or jug before reading it
  • A paper clip is about 1 gram and a liter bottle of water is about 1 kilogram
  • Keep a geared clock out so students can check the hour hand
  • Go back to the lesson the key names for a question the class misses

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 2.MD.C.7 Read and record clock times in 5-minute steps on clock faces and digital displays, and use a.m. and p.m. correctly.
  • 3.MD.A.1 Read and record time to the exact minute, find how many minutes pass between times, and solve story problems adding or subtracting minutes.
  • 3.MD.A.2 Estimate and measure mass in grams and kilograms and liquid volume in liters, and solve one-step story problems about them with any operation.
  • 3.MD.B.4 Measure lengths to the nearest half or quarter inch and show the measurements on a line plot marked in wholes, halves or quarters.
  • 4.MD.A.1 Know how units within one system compare, rewrite a measurement in a smaller unit, and make two-column conversion tables, like yards to feet.
