In Grade 3, students develop their understanding of standard units and processes for measuring various attributes such as length, mass, capacity, area, perimeter, and time. They learn to select appropriate tools, estimate measurements, and solve problems involving measurement.
By the end of Grade Three, the learner will be expected to:
Assessment strategies that provide information about learning:
Measurement in Grade 3 builds upon students' earlier experiences with non-standard units and introduces more formal work with standard units. Students develop a deeper understanding of the attributes being measured (length, area, mass, capacity, time, temperature) and the units and tools used to measure them. They learn to select appropriate units and tools, estimate measurements, and solve problems involving measurement. Through hands-on experiences and real-world applications, students develop measurement sense and an understanding of the importance of measurement in everyday life.
