13. Simple conversions with Customary Units • Convert: Change from one unit to another, such as from feet to inches. • Change Larger to Smaller units • To change to a smaller unit, multiply. • Example: How many inches are in 6 feet? • 12 inches = 1 foot • 6 feet = 6 x 12 = 72 inches • Change Smaller to Larger units • To change to a smaller unit, divide. • Example: How many feet is 48 inches? • 1 foot = 12 inches • 48 inches = 48 ÷ 12 = 4 feet CONFIDENTIAL

17. Estimate • Estimate: An answer that is close to the exact answer. • 12 x 779 = 9,348 • 12 x 800 = 9,600Estimate • Estimate is used to get an idea of how large the object is; to pick appropriate units CONFIDENTIAL

18. Try This! • Estimate and then measure. Tell what unit and tool you use. • The width of your room • The largest step you can take CONFIDENTIAL

19. Metric Units of Capacity • Capacity: A measure of a dry or liquid volume of a container. • Ounces are customary units of measurement • Milliliters are metric units CONFIDENTIAL

20. Try This! • Estimate and then measure the capacity of each object. • A juice box • A spoon CONFIDENTIAL

22. Try This! • Estimate and then measure the mass of each object. • A bicycle • A pair of sneakers CONFIDENTIAL

23. Convert Metric Units CONFIDENTIAL

24. Convert Metric Units • Change Larger to Smaller units • To change to a smaller unit, multiply. • Example: How many centimeters are in 10 meters? • 1 m = 100 cm • 10 meters = 10 x 100 = 1,000 cm • Change Smaller to Larger units • To change to a smaller unit, divide. • Example: How many kilograms are in 5,000 grams? • 1,000 g = 1 kg • 5,000 ÷ 1,000 = 5 CONFIDENTIAL

25. Try This! • 5 m = __ cm • 5,000 g = __ kg CONFIDENTIAL
