Math - Fourth Grade Unit 7 Measurement – Measurement Conversion Tables; Problem Solving with Measurement Monday, May 18 – Friday, May 22

PURPOSE Building on content from previous grade levels, students will solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit. Standards addressed in part or in whole: 4.MD.A.1 and 4.MD.A.2

• I can compare and explain different units of measurement.

• I can convert and record units of measurement within the same system.

• I can use the four operations to solve word problems that require expressing measurements.

WATCH

Review Material: • Watch, How to Use a Ruler to Measure Inches! By Mashup Math. Think about how to use the

symbols and markings on a ruler to measure objects.

• Watch: Units of Measurement on Scholastic Study Jams.

• Read Aloud How Big is a Foot? to learn why we need a standard unit of measurement. Measure the distance of 20 feet with your foot. Measure the distance of 20 feet with an inch ruler. Compare the difference in length.

DISCUSS

Guiding Questions: Review:

1. Why do we need a standard unit of measurement? 2. Teach someone how to use the symbols and markings on a ruler or measuring cup to

measure. Monday:

1. Compare and contrast customary units of length and metric units of length. 2. Why is it important to know and understand multiples of ten while using the metric system?

Which multiples should you be familiar with in order to convert customary measures of length?

Tuesday: 1. How does using a t-chart help you convert time measurements? 2. Why is it important to know how to count and use money?

Wednesday: 1. What are the standard units of customary measurement for weight? 2. What are the standard units of metric measurement for mass?

Thursday: Why is the number four or the fraction, ¼ important when measuring liquid volume using customary units? Friday: Think about or list the customary measurement units you used this week and the metric measurement units you used this week. What do the metric measurement units have in common? Why do you think there are so many different customary measurement units?
