"NC.5.MD.1 Given a conversion chart, use multiplicative reasoning to solve one-step conversion problems within a given measurement system." I CAN explain customary units of measure. I CAN determine customary vs. metric units of measure. I CAN solve one-step conversion in customary
Learning objective:
What do you already know about the Customary or Metric Systems?
Name two units of measurement.
Measurement is the process of determining how much or how many of something there is. We use units to measure things like length, weight, and time. We use tools like rulers, scales, and clocks to measure.
Measuring the World Around Us
Length: The distance between two points. Weight: A measure of how heavy something is. Time: A measure of how long something takes. Capacity: The maximum amount that something can contain

Exit Ticket: The length of a package is 24 feet. How long is the package in yards? (Note: 3 feet = 1 yard)
- 6 yards
- 8 yards
- 4 yards
- 5 yards

Tom purchased a 40 lb. bag of dog food. Knowing that there are 16 oz in a pound, how many 5 oz scoops are in the bag?
How can we use multiplicative reasoning to solve conversion problems?
What is the basic customary unit of measurement for weight?
- Kilogram
- Gram
- Milligram
- Ounce
What is the basic unit of measurement for time?
There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. Based on these relationships: How many seconds are in 2 1/2 hours? How many seconds are in 5 hours? How many seconds are in a day?
Exit-Ticket: School gets out at 2:15 p.m. Bryce decided to play outside until 4:00 p.m. Then Bryce did homework until 6:05 p.m. How long did he play outside? How long did he do homework? Hours, Minutes & Seconds 60 seconds=1 min 60 min= 1 hour
Exit-Ticket: The packages that UPS is delivering today is 6 1/2 tons. How many lbs would that be? 2,000lbs = 1 ton
- 12,000 lbs
- 13,000 lbs
- 14,000 lbs
- 18,000 lbs
