Class Experience

US Grade 5
The students in this class will be converting and comparing units of customary length, weight, and capacity. The students will learn that when you change a unit from a larger unit to a smaller unit you will multiply. The students will also learn that when you change a unit from a smaller unit to a larger unit you will divide. I will use Zoom whiteboard and a customary chart to model how to change units and how to compare units in the customary system. During class I will deliver instruction using the I do, we do, you do strategy to show understanding of the standard. Students will be given opportunities to complete problems on the Zoom whiteboard to show understanding. The students will answer questions related to each problem. Students that enroll in this class should know the basic multiplication facts and basic division facts. 

Day 1: Converting units of length, weight and capacity( inches, feet, miles, yards, ounces, pounds, tons, cups, pints, gallons, quarts)
Day 2: Comparing units of length, weight, and capacity
