Standards addressed
The same five days, mapped to each state's Grade 3 standards — no single-state branding. Teach it anywhere.
Independently mapped by Worksheet Patch. Not reviewed or endorsed by any state department of education.
| State | Program | Grade 3 codes |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia | K-12 Mathematics Standards | 3.MDR.5.5 estimate & measure liquid volumes, lengths & masses in customary units; same-unit problems; reason about relative unit sizes |
| Florida | B.E.S.T. Standards | MA.3.M.1.1 select & use tools to measure; liquid volume in a beaker (nearest mL and half/quarter cup) MA.3.M.1.2 four-operation real-world problems with lengths, masses, weights, temperatures, liquid volumes; no conversions |
| Alabama | Course of Study | Grade 3, Standard 19 estimate & measure liquid volumes and masses: liters, grams, kilograms Grade 3, Standard 19a four operations on one-step word problems with masses/volumes in the same metric units |
| Kentucky | Academic Standards | KY.3.MD.2 measure & solve problems with mass and liquid volume: g, kg, L; four operations, same units |
Georgia: Customary units only — Georgia does not assess metric measurement in grade 3, so Day 1 (mass: grams/kilograms) carries no Georgia mapping — GA honestly omitted for Day 1 per Derrick's verdict 2026-09-22 (keep the arc, no scope change).
Alabama: Metric only — Alabama has no Grade 3 customary mass/weight/volume standard; customary content maps to Georgia/Florida only.
Kentucky: Metric only — Kentucky has no Grade 3 customary mass/weight/volume standard; the standard says "mass", not "weight". KAS 2019 is under KDE review — re-verify if revised.
