What children learn in Level 53
- Capacity tells how much a container holds. Each unit here is built from the one before it.
- A gallon is 4 quarts, each quart is 2 pints, and each pint is 2 cups. So a gallon is 8 pints, or 16 cups.
- Weight has its own chart. A pound is 16 ounces, and a ton is 2,000 pounds.
- Careful: fluid ounces measure how much liquid fits, and ounces measure how heavy something is.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 5.MDR.7.4 — Convert among units within relative sizes of measurement units within the customary measurement system.
