Science Homework: Metric Measurement
front and back
Graded homework begins this week! As per grading in grouping, homework that is turned in late will have 10 points taken off for each day that it is late. Homework that is more than 3 days late may not be accepted.





 THIS WEEK IN MATH:

We are starting new lessons this week that look at comparing and ordering numbers, and rounding. We will be using our envision MATH book and videos this week to help with comparing and ordering
 Some of the areas we will be focusing on this week are:
·         Compare two or more numbers using the correct symbol (>, <, =).
·         Put three or more numbers in order from least to greatest or greatest to least.
·         Represent a number on a number line between two multiples of 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000.
·         Use a number line to compare and order numbers.
·         Use a number line to round numbers.
·         Round numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

We will be representing these skills in our math notebooks. Math notebooks can go home at any time for extra practice and studying! Please be sure to return math notebooks to school each day so that we may continue to take notes and work through examples in them.

MATH RESOURCES FOR PRACTICE

FREE FROM THE APP STORE - Math Rescue Fun Mental Games – This free game from Apple’s app store allows you to run with Toby the emoji through the forest and put out fires with water balloons! This game focuses on rounding and estimation skills, while also targeting mental math.
Mr. Nussbaum - Half Court Rounding – Try to score as many points as possible by rounding numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, or tenth. You can choose to play with decimals, or without decimals. Choose to shoot 3’s, 2’s or dunk the ball!
ABCya - Soccer Math – Choose from 3 different levels of difficulty! Round the number given to the nearest number listed, and earn a kick each time you get an answer correct. Once you earn all of your kicks, kick the soccer ball into the goal!
Math-Play - Pirate Rounding – Round the number given on each screen to earn points and different items! If you miss too many questions, you will not be able to find the treasure at the end of the game.
Math Games 4 Children - Crocodile Game – Practice rounding numbers to the nearest number given in the game board style online game. Roll the dice, and watch the fro move along the swamp to different numbers. Answer the question and stay in your spot. If you answer incorrectly, you have to go back.

THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE:
We will continue looking at measuring within the metric system. We will continue measuring the lengths of objects using our meter tapes, and begin measuring mass in grams, and volume and capacity in liters.
Some of the areas we will be focusing on this week are:
        How to make measurements with appropriate units
        Standard measurement units in the metric system
        How to measure liquids accurately



SCIENCE RESOURCES FOR PRACTICE
Khan Academy - Mass – View video that discusses mass, then practice with questions that compare grams and kilograms! You can also practice different word problems with mass. *When accessing from Symbaloo, click the navy Learner’s, start here button, Math By Grade – 3rd, measurement and data, and then choose mass.
·         Student will be setting up their own accounts for Khan Academy within the upcoming weeks using their school email addresses. This is the same email address they will use to log into our chrome books. If you would like to begin practicing at home, you can have your child create their own account with their school email by clicking this link. The code to join our class is VFQR45RK. Their password will be the same password they use to log on to the computer at school. If you would like this information, please let me know and I will send it home!
Discovery Education - Meter Video – Students will log into their Discovery Education accounts using Ready Hub. This video goes through what a meter is, what we may measure with a meter, and what segments a meter is broken down into.
BrainPOPJr - Centimeters, Meters, Kilometers – Watch the BrainPOPJr video on centimeters, Meters and Kilometers. You can also play a game that lets you drag and drop items that are less than or greater than a meter. You can also view the BrainPOPJr videos and play the games for Milliliters and Liters and Grams and Kilograms
BrainPOP - Metric Units – Watch the BrainPOP video on Metric Units and play the game where you are able to watch a quick video and put events from the metric time line in order.
