With the many units and metrics of measurement, understanding their use and distinguishing between the many forms of measuring can be a little tricky for children. Here are some of the terms used to describe units and metrics of measurement: Decigram, gram, meter, kilometer, kilogram, dekagram, deciliter, milliliter, milligram, centigram, liter and more…This math game for third graders helps students distinguish between essential types of measurement metrics such as capacity, length and mass. For instance, meter measures length while grams measure mass, liter measures capacity. Students become familiar with metric terms, and which are less and which represent more in comparison. After each question is answered correctly the following screen will show a dog in space being able to catch a bone. If an answer is incorrect, a meteor will hit the bone instead or a spaceship will beam the bone up. This game is great for learning center practice or for extra practice at home.
