a) length to the nearest 1/2 inch, inch, foot, yard, centimeter, and meter; and b) liquid volume in cups, pints, quarts, gallons, and liters.

note that this will also work for the 2023 VA SOL 3.MG.1 The student will reason mathematically using standard units (U.S. Customary and metric) with appropriate tools to estimate and measure objects by length, weight/mass, and liquid volume to the nearest half or whole unit. (except this one does not cover any weight/mass measurement notes)

It contains printables that can be used for several activities. You can print the sort cards and category cards and have students sort the words in groups. You can print the sort cards and put them around the room/tables and have students walk around in a scoot and record their sort on the student recording sheet.

There is also a completely independent activity, where you print the student recording sheet and the small sort cards and have students cut and glue to complete the sort.

You could even use the gluing sort as a formative assessment after your complete the sort as a group to see how much the students retained.

The product contains the following categories: time, length, capacity, weight/mass, capacity/volume. The sort cards include things like: mile, tall, graduated cylinder, seconds, minutes, scale, grams, liters, and much much more.
