Converting Measurements Unit: Customary and Metric Units

This Converting Measurements Unit is perfect for teaching your students how to convert between customary and metric units of measurement!

Have you ever finished teaching a math lesson that kind of ended in a disaster? Maybe it's only me! After a few of these disasters, I started changing the way that I taught math to my students. I realized that I just had to make my lessons more engaging.

This unit includes everything that you will need to teach measurement. It was very successful in my classroom!

This Measurement Unit Includes:

1. PowerPoint Lesson: 110 Slides
2. → The lesson is scaffolded; therefore, it builds upon itself. It starts by reviewing both customary and metric units of length, weight, and capacity before teaching students how to convert between the units.
3. → By the end of the lesson, students will be able to solve two step conversion word problems.
4. → This PowerPoint is visually engaging - it includes a video and various website links to keep students engaged.
5. Day by Day Unit Plan Suggestions
6. Interactive Notes that follow along with the lessons
7. Measuring Around the Room {Customary Length} worksheet
