What children learn in Level 64
- Liquid volume is how much a container holds. Small amounts are fluid ounces and cups. Bigger amounts are pints and quarts.
- The biggest unit is the gallon, like a big jug of milk. A bathtub holds about 40 gallons!
- To measure, read the line at the top of the water. This pitcher has 3 cups.
- Solve with one unit at a time: 12 cups of soup, take away 5 cups, leaves 7 cups.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 3.MDR.5.5 — Estimate and measure liquid volumes, lengths and masses of objects using customary units. Solve problems involving mass, length, and volume given in the same unit, and reason about the relative sizes of measurement units within the customary system.
