Measurement

5th grade measurement isn't so hard anymore. The Common Core Standards says we're only supposed to know how to convert units within a measurement system. Great! Easy! We can do it! To help my students learn how to convert, I created a chart that gives the conversions for each unit. With lots of practice using this chart, I hope my students will learn the conversions. No memorizing in my classroom! We will use the conversion charts and, in the process, we will learn the conversions. I'll let you know how it goes.
