Measurement Conversions

Measurement conversions.  This can be a difficult concept for 5th graders.  We are learning 2 processes to tackle converting from one unit to another. One method is a favorite of mine, drawing a model, the other uses a function table to organize the data.





Below is a link to MANY excellent measurement games. If you are searching for ways to prepare for the upcoming CBA, try some of these activities.

    1. You don't understand the model method? Do you prefer making a function table? You can use whichever method makes sense to you. It's ok if one method is easier for you to understand and use. You are not required to be able to use both. Let me know if you still have a question and we can review more in class.
