CCSS Description: Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.
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.
In this cut and sort activity students will match up a description such as volume of a can of cola with a suitable metric measure and a value. Measures used include: ml, L, cm, m, km, g, kg and tonnes.
