In earlier lessons, students encountered and solved problems about time and liquid volume. In this lesson, students model with mathematics (MP4) as they determine quantities, questions, and solutions that make sense in given situations and that adhere to mathematical and real-world constraints when solving problems.
Representation
MLR8
Interpret (orally) equations and diagrams that represent strategies for solving problems involving measurement.
Represent and solve one-step word problems involving time and liquid volume.
Pensemos en qué números y qué preguntas tienen sentido en los problemas.
This lesson pushed students to make sense of problems in new ways, by filling in numbers that make sense and generating questions that could match. How did you see students persevering in these tasks?

Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).Excludes compound units such as and finding the geometric volume of a container. Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.Excludes multiplicative comparison problems (problems involving notions of “times as much”); see Glossary, Table 2.
Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
