Standards that are elicited by the lesson o 3.MD.A.

2- solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects Objective of the lesson o Students will be able to state the different customary units of capacity through interaction with manipulatives. Procedure of the lesson o Students will come down to the rug for a teacher instructed lesson on customary units of capacity. o I will explain to the students that up until this point in the unit they have been learning how to measure the length of objects. I will then tell the students for this lesson they will be learning how to measure how much a container holds, which is also known as capacity. o The customary units of capacity are a cup, pint, quart, and gallon. These will be explained by showing the students the different sized containers. This will allow the students to be able to physically see the size differences and better grasp the concept that a cup, pint, quart, and gallon have different capacities. With the different measurements I will show students that the largest is the gallon, in 1 gallon are 4 quarts, in 4 quarts are 8 pints, and in 8 pints are 16 cups. (Using visual- attached) o Once the different sized containers are introduced, I will explain to the students that they can estimate capacity by comparing the customary units of measurements to familiar objects. I will ask the students if I have a cereal bowl is the better estimate of its capacity 1-cup or 1-quart. (i.e. Guided Practice number 1 page 338 in enVisionMATH) o After the estimation of familiar objects is discussed, I will introduce choosing the best unit of capacity to measure the capacity of a specific object. I will ask the students if I wanted to measure the amount of water in my swimming pool, which unit of capacity would I use to complete the measuring in the least amount of time. (i.e. Independent Practice number 14 page 339 in enVisionMATH) o To close the lesson at the rug, I will give the students a problem-solving question. This will cause the students to apply what they have just learned and also allow me to see how well the students understood the lesson. Can containers with different shapes have the same capacity? In order to display this to the students I will have a container that has the same capacity as one of the example containers (cup, pint, quart, and gallon) with water in it and pour it into the standard container. o Once all of the demonstrations are over students will return to their desks and receive a Mr. Gallon Manworksheet. Assessment of the lesson o To assess the students understanding of the lesson, students will construct a Mr. Gallon Man and complete the corresponding worksheet. The students should successfully complete 6 out of 7 questions.
