Students will convert different measurements using the customary and metric system by using models, multiplication, and division.

Priority Standards

• 5.C.2: Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Describe the strategy and explain the reasoning used.
• 5.M.1: Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system, and use these conversions in solving multi-step real-world problems.

Supporting Standards

• 5.C.5: Use visual fraction models and numbers to multiply a fraction by a fraction or a whole number

Essential Questions

• How can I use measurement conversions to solve real-world problems?
• What is the difference between customary and metric units of measurement?
• What is the relationship between multiplication and division and measurement conversions?

21^st Century Skills

• Creativity: Students will design their own amusement park. Students will convert between different customary units of measurement to make a scale of their map.
• Collaboration: Students will make their own anchor charts showing all the different types of conversions.
