Standard Identifier: 3.MD.2
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade: 3
Domain: Measurement and Data

Cluster:
Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.

Standard:
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.

Footnote:
Excludes compound units such as cm^3 and finding the geometric volume of a container. Excludes multiplicative comparison problems (problems involving notions of “times as much”; see Glossary, Table 2).
