Students choose and use the right tool to measure length (rulers), liquid volume (beakers and measuring cups), and temperature (thermometers). Reading a scale is just like reading a number line.
Length is measured to the nearest centimeter or the nearest half or quarter inch. Liquid volume is measured to the nearest milliliter or half or quarter cup. Temperature is measured to the nearest degree.
Official benchmarkSelect and use appropriate tools to measure the length of an object, the volume of liquid within a beaker and temperature.
On the FAST test: part of the Grade 3 reporting category Geometric Reasoning, Measurement, and Data Analysis and Probability, which is about 23–29% of the test.
Worked Example 1
Worked Example 2
Find the scale first. Each mark is 2 degrees, so the first mark above 70 is 72°F.
Line up the end with 0, or count the spaces: from 1 to 6 is 5 centimeters.
Cook or bake together: reading measuring cups, a kitchen thermometer, and a ruler for the pan are all real practice with scales.
