Measure Mass in Kilograms and Grams WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 3rd Grade

CCSS: 3.MD.A.2

CCSS Description: 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.

Measure Mass in Kilograms and Grams WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Reading from scales is a vital component in learners ability to measure mass in grams and kilograms. This is why we have chosen to begin this worksheet with a section dedicated to students labeling number lines from 0 to 1000, each with a different number of interval markers. This skill is then used in section B as students will read the weights of different items from scales. The scales vary each time so studetns must pay attention to these details. In section C, learners will draw arrows on scales to match ten different weights. This section also provides opportunity for students to consider fractions of kilograms, for example finding 2 ½ kg on the scale.
