"NC.5.MD.1 Given a conversion chart, use multiplicative reasoning to solve one-step conversion problems within a given measurement system." I CAN use multiplicative reasoning to solve at least one-step conversion problems of customary capacity.
Learning objective:
What words come to mind when you hear the word capacity?
What is the customary unit of capacity? (2 min)
- Liters
- Gallons
- Cubic Feet
- Quarts
Prediction how many pints do you think is in our 1 gallon of turkey hill lemonade?
- 4 pints
- 8 pints
- 16 pints
- 32 pints
Volunteers will be needed! I want you to raise your hand, and put a finger up each time we get a pint out of the Turkey Hill Lemonade. Be thinking about: What do you notice about the different sized measuring tools? What do you notice about the relationship in the units we are measuring with? Real world connections to this?
Engage: (8 minutes) Let's see how many pints of Lemonade are in 1 gallon of Turkey Hill Lemonade.
8 pints in 1 gallon
Let's see how many cups of Lemonade are in 1 gallon of Turkey Hill Lemonade.
Think Individually, then share with a peer and you will share out in just a moment. How did you use multiplicative reasoning to solve this problem?
If we know there is 8 pints of Lemonade in 1 gallon. How many cups and quarts?
16 cups, 8 pints, and 4 quarts= 1 gallon
If we know there is 8 pints of Lemonade in 1 gallon. How many cups and quarts?
We determined: 16 cups, 8 pints, and 4 quarts= 1 gallon Does our Lemonade match our Conversion Chart?
Let's Review our Conversions Chart

Another Strategy:
What is a time you have used cups, pints, quarts or gallons in your personal life? Or what ways would you use customary conversions in your life? This is when you have used customary (capacity) conversations.
Students will work with a partner to sort the word problems with the correct answers for each of the problems. Use your conversion chart from our previous lessons notes All work should be completed in MATH notebook to help answer each of the cards.

Let's Review our sorting cards and answers! Sharing answers and strategies for solving each problem. What information in the problem helped you to solve it? Why did you choose that particular strategy to solve the problem? Is there other strategies you could use to solve the problem?

Quick Check-In: How many quarts are in 3 gallons?
- 12 quarts
- 16 quarts
- 8 quarts
- 6 quarts
Quick Check-In: Let's COMPARE! We are planning to paint the walls of our school a new color. If Lila has 11 pints of paint, Cora has 6 quarts of paint and Kaden has 1 gallon of paint, who has the greatest to least amount of paint? Know your explanation! 2 pints = 1 quart 4 quarts = 1 gallon
- Lila- Cora- Kaden
- Cora- Lila- Kaden
- Kaden- Lila - Cora
- Kaden - Cora - Lila
- Cora- Kaden - Lila
