2. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.2 Welcome  Hello!  How are you today.  Lets start a new lesson!

3. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.3 Warm up!! 1. 2 ft = ___ in. 2. 5 yd = ___ ft 3. 21ft = ___ yd 4. 3 mi = ___ ft

4. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.4 Try This!!  Which one do you think will hold more? Well done!! 1 pint1 Quart 1 gallon

5. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.5 Capacity in customary units The most commonly used customary units of capacity are shown below. UnitModel 1 fluid ounce (fl oz)2 tablespoons of water 1 cup (c) = 8 fl ozCoffee cup 1 pint (pt) = 2 cSmall ice cream container 1 quart (qt) = 2 ptLarge measuring cup 1 gallon (gal) = 4qtLarge plastic jug of milk

6. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.6 Capacity in customary units  Changing units of capacity  When changing from larger units to smaller units, there will be a greater number of smaller units than larger units, so we multiply.  Example 3 qt = ___ pt 3 × 2 = 6 So, 3 quarts = 6 pints. (Think 1 quart = 2 pints)

7. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.7 Your turn!!  5 qt = ___ pt ?

8. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.8 Capacity in customary units  Changing units of capacity  When changing from smaller units to larger units, there will be fewer larger units than smaller units, so we divide.  Example 64 fl oz = ___ pt 64 ÷ 8 = 8 8 ÷ 2 = 4 So, 64 fluid ounces = 4 pints Think 8 fl oz = 1 cup and 2 cups = 1 pint. You need to divide twice. Divide to change fluid ounces to cups. So, 64 fl oz = 8 c. Divide to change cup to pints.

9. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.9 Your turn!!  24 fl oz = ___ c ?

10. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.10 Weight in customary units The most commonly used customary units of weight are shown below. UnitsModel 1 ounce (oz)Pencil 1 pound (lb) = 1ozPackage of notebook paper 1 ton (T) = 2,000 lbSmall passenger car

11. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.11 Weight in customary units  Changing units of weight  Multiply to change larger units into smaller units  Example How many 4- ounce party favours can be made with 5 pounds of mixed nuts? First, find the total number of ounces in 5 pounds 16 × 5 = 80. Next find how many set of 4 ounces are in 80 ounces. 80 oz ÷ 4 oz = 20 So, 20 party favours can be made with 5 pounds of mixed nuts.

12. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.12 Your turn!!  3 ½ lb = ___oz ?

13. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.13 Weight in customary units  Changing units of weight  Divide to change smaller units into larger units  Example A truck weighs 7,000 ponds. How many tons is the truck? 7, 000 lb = ___ T 7000 ÷ 2000 = 3 ½ So, 7000 pounds = 3 ½ tons Think 2000 pounds = 1 ton Divide to change pounds to tons.

14. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.14 Your turn!!  40 oz = ___ lb ?

15. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.15 Practice Complete the following. 1.32 qt = ____ gal 2.9 gal = ___ pt 3.1,500 lb = ___T

16. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.16 Practice Complete the following. 4. 4 ½ T = ___lb 5. 84 oz = ___ lb 6. 112 oz = ___ lb

17. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.17 Practice 7. Which is less; 14 cups or 5 pints? 8. Giant clams can weigh as much as ¼ tons. How many pounds is this? 9. Which is greater; 3 ½ pints or 60 fl ounces?

18. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.18 Practice 10. Kylie is making a pot of stew that needs 1 qt of beef broth. How many cups of beef broth does she needs?

19. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.19 Assessment 1. State the operation that you would use to change pints to quarts. 2. 5 c = ___ fl oz 3. 7 pt = __ c

20. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.20 Assessment (Cont.) 4. Which is greater; 16 cups or 6 pints? 5. How many gallons are equal to 12 quarts? Explain. 6. Which is greater; 3 tons or 3000 lb?

21. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.21 7. 6 ½ pt = ___ c 8. A container of ice-cream contains 20 half-cup servings. How many quarts is this? Assessment (Cont.)

22. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.22 9. ___ qt = 14 gal 10. How many gallons equals 8 cups? Assessment (Cont.)

23. _______________________________________________________________________ Copyright © Ed2Net Learning, Inc.23 Recap In this lesson you have learnt: We divide to change smaller units into larger units and multiply to change larger units to smaller units. Unit 1 ounce (oz) 1 pound (lb) = 1oz 1 ton (T) = 2,000 lb Unit 1 fluid ounce (fl oz) 1 cup (c) = 8 fl oz 1 pint (pt) = 2 c 1 quart (qt) = 2 pt 1 gallon (gal) = 4qt
