About this resource
Description
Temperature tells us what to wear, what to pack, and what fun we can have outside. This enjoying the temperature worksheet helps 3rd grade students read a Fahrenheit thermometer marked every 5 degrees and use addition and subtraction to follow how the temperature changes during a beach day, a sledding trip, and a family picnic.
Students start by finding the top of the red line on four thermometers and writing each reading in the box. Every reading lands between the labeled numbers, so students must count the small marks by fives instead of copying a label. Next, they solve three two-step word problems about outdoor activities, tracking a temperature as it rises and falls. The last item asks students to look at the coldest thermometer, name something fun they would do outside on that day, and explain why it is a good choice. Use it as guided practice, a math center, homework, or a quick check after a measurement lesson.
What’s Included
- One printable Enjoying the Temperature worksheet page
- Four Fahrenheit thermometers to read, each marked in 5-degree steps
- Three two-step temperature word problems about outdoor activities
- One short written response connecting a temperature to a fun activity
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds careful counting on a scale, the same skill students need for rulers, measuring cups, and bar graphs. Second, the word problems connect temperature to adding and subtracting within 100, so students see math describing the weather they feel outside. Third, the written response asks students to connect a number to real life, which shows they understand what a reading of 35 degrees actually feels like. As a 3rd grade measurement worksheet, it fits neatly into units on measurement, data, and weather.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, show a real outdoor thermometer and count the marks between two labels together. After students finish the Enjoying the Temperature Worksheet, record the real temperature each morning for a week and have students list one activity that fits each day. For an extension, have partners write their own two-step temperature story about a favorite outdoor activity and trade with another pair. The sheet also pairs well with a science lesson on seasons and weather.
