Measurement Videos for 3rd Grade
Once a child reaches the 3rd grade, they learn much more information which pertains to using and understanding measurements. The student learns how to explain in measurement of an object through both written language and oral language. This important foundation will be used in everyday situations for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, the 3rd graders use a wide range of objects to measure perimeter, area, capacity, weight, length, and volume. This can be a lot for a 3rd grader to take in, which is where online videos come in.
Measurement videos for 3rd graders take what students learn in class and allow them to go over it on their own time. Online measurement videos will take each category and break it down into an easy-to-learn manner. The videos start with an explanation of the metric system, which lays a foundation for the rest of the measurement videos. Once a child masters the basics of the metric system, it is easier to understand the concept of measuring different types of objects the student may come across.
After the demonstration of the metric system, the videos give actual examples of measuring objects, such as pencils or a football field. As we use common visual tools, bolding words, and easy-to-read numbers, the student will be able to grasp the concepts and can easily remember them as moving on through the school years.
The measurement videos for 3rd graders are around three minutes long, as these children can withstand sitting for longer periods of time. The videos are still short enough to keep the child's attention, while still putting all the relevant information into the video. Kid-friendly graphics also help to hold the children's attention as they watch everyday household objects used as examples throughout the videos.
