[Math] Measurement Test Review

Grade 3 Students will be having a Measurement Test on Monday, April 29th.  Students should review the following concepts:

• Estimate, measure, and record length and width using standard units (centimetre)

• Estimate, measure and/or record the perimeter of shapes using standard units (cm, m, km) and units on a grid.

• Compare standard units of length (i.e., centimetre, metre, kilometre) (e.g., centimetres are smaller than metres), and select and justify the most appropriate standard unit to measure length of a given object.

• Describe the relationship between the size of a unit of area and the number of units needed to cover a surface (ex. It will take more small sticky notes than big sticky notes to measure the area of my desk because big sticky notes take up more space).

• Measure area of shapes on a grid using whole and half squares.

• Draw shapes on a grid to show a given perimeter or area.

• When provided a real-life example, tell whether they need to measure area or perimeter. (ex. You want cover your wall with square posters, how many posters will fit - need to measure area)

• Identify how many centimetres in a metre (100 cm in 1 m)  and metres in a kilometre (1000m in a km)

• Solve word problems using the units and measurements provided.
