1. Fahrenheit- the unit used to measure temperature in the

customary system.2. Celsius – the unit used to measure temperature in the

metric system.

There are 2 systems we use to measure temperature.

Customary Weight16 ounces (oz.) = 1 pound (lb.)2,000 pounds (lbs.) = 1 ton (T)

Examples:•1 ounce – dog biscuit•1 pound – can of corn•1 ton - truck

Customary Measurement CAPACITY

Capacity – the maximum amount that can be contained by an object.

Ounce (fl. Oz.)

Cup (c)

Pint (pt)

Quart (qt)

Gallon (gal)

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

1 cup = 8 fl. Ounces

So…. How many cups are in a gallon?

16

Relationships Between Units of Measure

• What is the relationship between 1 week and 1 year?

Thought process:I know there are 52 weeks in a year, so 1 of

them would be 1 out of 52. The answer as a fraction would be 1/52.

Let’s Try Some More:

What’s the relationship between a cup

and a pint?

1 minute and an hour?

1 oz. and a pound?

1/2

1/60

1/16

Perimeter•The distance around a

figure. *Add ALL sides

12 inches

5 inches

12 + 12 + 5 + 5 = 34 inches

(12 x 2) + (5 x 2) = 34 inches

AREAThe number of square units needed to cover a surface.

Area = length x width

8 cm.

3 cm.

8 x 3 =

24 square cm.

VolumeThe measure of the space a

solid figure occupies. Volume is measured in

cubic units.Volume = length x width x height

V = L X W X H8 x 3 x 4 =

96 cubic inches8 in.

4 in. 3 in.

Metric Units for Length• Kilometer (km) – a little smaller than a mile• Meter (m) – about the width of a door• Centimeter (cm) – about the width of a large

paperclip• Millimeter (mm) – about the thickness of a dime

1,000 mm = 1 m

100 cm = 1 m

10 decimeters (dm) = 1 m

1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 m

Metric Units for Mass• Milligram (mg) = takes 1,000 mg to

make a gram• Gram ( g) = about one paperclip• Kilogram (kg) = about the mass of a

book

1,000 mg = 1 g

1,000 g = 1 kg

Metric Units of Capacity & Volume

• Milliliter (ml) – about the amount in an eye dropper

• Liter (l) – 2 liter bottler of Coke

1,000 ml = 1 liter

1,000 liters = 1 kiloliter
