[L2] Meteorite Math Adventures
Practice
Lesson 2 to practice measuring and comparing mass by analyzing meteorite masses. CC Standard: 3.MD.A.2: Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).Excludes compound units such as cm3 and finding the geometric volume of a container. 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. Excludes multiplicative comparison problems (problems involving notions of “times as much”) Practice Lesson 2 Context: Masses of Meteorites found on Earth Graphs: Bar chart, Dot plot Number of questions: 13 Difficulty level: Medium Estimated time: 15 mins
Meteorite Math Adventures Meteorites are amazing space rocks that zoom through the sky and land on Earth! Scientists measure their mass to discover how heavy these space visitors really are. In this lesson, you’ll become a Space Scientist to explore their weights, make comparisons, and use math to understand what these meteorites can tell us. Click “Next” to go ahead.
