      TEKS 3.7D: Appropriate Measurement Use

      • Determine Appropriate Measuring Units and Tools

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can determine when to use the correct unit of measurement for volume and weight.

        Focuses On:

        • Building foundational vocabulary for volume and weight in the metric and customary measurement systems
        • Helping students understand the difference between volume and weight
        • Identifying tools that measure volume and tools that measure weight

        Builds On:

        This is the first time students are working with this skill outside of measuring length.

        Next Level:

        4.8C:

        Solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to build foundational vocabulary, understanding of the metric and customary measurement system and all units within both systems.


        The two instructional blocks in this lesson are units of measurement and measurement tools.


        The first instructional block focuses on when to measure volume vs. when to measure weight.


        The second instructional block has students identify which tools they will use to measure depending on if they are measuring volume or weight.


        Pictorial representations are intentionally integrated into the lesson to support conceptual learning.
