If teaching measurement conversions makes you want to curl up in a ball in the corner, then this resource has landed in your lap at just the right time. Measurement has never been so interactive, simplified, and FUN for your students (not to mention a breeze to teach for YOU!)
This full unit has EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING) you need to teach your students about the measurement and measurement conversions in both metric and customary measuring systems. Students will practice measuring length, weight, and capacity in both systems as well as convert across units within each system. Resources include a teacher guide, hands-on students activities (printable or digital), learning centers, review activities, and unit assessment.
Teachers who have used this unit have loved:
the step-by-step teacher guide that breaks each lesson down into an introduction, lesson activity, and closing - making the lessons easy to prepare for and deliver to your students.
the engaging student activities (printable and digital) that present measurement in kid-friendly terms
the easy to follow daily lessons and so much more!
The unit will help you to effortlessly teach:
The two main systems for measuring (customary and metric)
Units of measurement for the metric system including units for length (mm, cm, m, km), weight (g, kg), and capacity (mL, L)
Units of measurement for the customary system including units for length (in, ft, yd), weight (oz, lb, T), and capacity (c, pt, qt. gal.)
Creating conversion tables (ex. 12in,1ft ; 24in, 2ft...etc)
Solving word problems for both metric and customary systems
How it works in your classroom:
Begin each daily lesson with a short introduction where you use ready-to-go anchor slides that help you teach and review important concepts
From there students will work independently and/or in small groups to practice new skills through varied activities including games, interactive digital activities, task cards and more!
Bring your class back together at the end of the lesson to review and discuss what students have learned that day.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Out of the hundreds of dollars ( yes, I know lol) that I have spent on TPT this is by far the best money that I have spent. I love that each day is planned with slides, practice, task cards and a game! Measurement conversions is the one thing I dread teaching each year and because of this I am super excited! Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing with us! I will certainly be a future shopper!" - Stacy B.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Holy cannoli. I can't explain how much I DREAD teaching measurement conversions to my students. I decided to buy this product for teaching the unit this year and I am SO glad I did. Extremely limited amount of prep work, super clear, the student/teacher resource was so useful, and the strategies to teach were useful (why had I NEVER thought of using number lines before?!). Thank you so much for such a thoughtful product!” - 4th grade teacher
