-To make this game, you'll need to print out two game boards and then write the 12 different times two times each on the foam shapes or your own cards (so you'll have 2 sets of 12 times for a total of 24 digital times) AND you need to write "Time is Up!" on 5 shapes/cards.
Student’s work in pairs to play and one partner pulls out a digital time and places it on the matching clock on their board. If they have already covered that time up, they must return the digital time and their turn is over. If they get a "Time is Up!" they have to return one of the times that they already
matched! The winner is the one

Weigh classroom objects to understand size and weight.
Fill containers to understand volume.
-Students choose a container and fill it until they think it is a liter. Then they will pour it into a liter container to check their
estimation. They will repeat this activity with different shaped containers. Record in table.
Estimate and measure liquid volumes and masses of various objects using metric units.
Tell that 1,000 grams are in 1 kilogram.

Solve one-step word problems involving liquid volume or mass using math operations.
-Weigh it Twice:
The students will work with a partner. Select five small
classroom objects to weigh on the balance scales. Measure each object twice, first using paper clips and then using grams (g). Record your findings in a three column table with the headings: Object, Non-Standard Unit (Paper Clips), Standard Unit (Grams)

-Gather approximately eight food items that have boxes or
containers that show their mass,
and then use masking tape to hide these measurements. After
allowing students the opportunity to hold gram and kilogram weights in their hands, pass around the food items, allowing the children to decide which items are heavier or lighter than others. They rank the items from “1” being the items with the smallest mass to “8”, which they have ranked as the largest mass. After all the items have been ranked, then take off the masking tape to reveal the mass of each item, or allow students to use scales to
determine the masses. Students then record the actual masses and compare to their estimates.
