Dear

Family,
Throughout the next few weeks, our math class will be
learning how to compare and convert measurement.
The students will use appropriate customary and
metric units and measurement tools.
You can expect to see homework that includes
comparing and converting length, weight/mass,
capacity, and time.
Here is a sample of how your child will be taught to
convert and compare weight.
Customary Weight
Convert 2 pounds to ounces. Compare the converted measure to 30 ounces.
STEP 1
1 pound is equal
to 16 ounces.
total ounces in total
3 5
pounds 1 pound ounces
2
Activity
16 32
STEP 2
Compare. Write ,, ., or 5.
32 ounces s 30 ounces
32 . 30
Try to have students commit most of the unit conversions to memory.
It will be useful for years to come. You can make a series of flash cards
with equivalent measures on either side of the card and practice with
them each night.
capacity The amount a container
can hold when filled.
elapsed time The amount of time
that passes between the start of an
activity and the end of that activity.
linear unit A measure of length,
width, height, or distance.
Tips
Converting Units of Measure
Draw a picture to understand
how units are related. When
converting from a larger unit
to a smaller unit, multiply.
When converting from a
smaller unit to a larger unit,
divide.

Querida familia,
Durante las próximas semanas, en la clase de matemáticas
aprenderemos a comparar y convertir medidas. Estaremos
usando las unidades de los sistemas usual y métrico, y las
herramientas para medir adecuadas.
Llevaré a la casa tareas con actividades para comparar
y convertir medidas de longitud, peso/masa, capacidad y
tiempo.
Este es un ejemplo de la manera como aprenderemos a
convertir y comparar medidas de peso.
El peso en el sistema usual
Convierte 2 libras a onzas. Compara la medida que convertiste con 30 onzas.
PASO 1
1 libra es igual
a 16 onzas.

Trate de lograr que su hijo memorice la mayoría de las conversiones de
unidades. Es algo que le será útil en el futuro. Puede crear una serie de tarjetas
nemotécnicas con medidas equivalentes en los dos lados de cada tarjeta para
practicar con él en la noche.
capacidad La cantidad que le cabe a un
recipiente cuando se llena.
tiempo transcurrido La cantidad de
tiempo que pasa entre el comienzo y el
final de una actividad.
unidad lineal Una medida de longitud,
ancho, altura o distancia.

Convertir unidades de medida
Haz un dibujo para entender
cómo las unidades se relacionan.
Cuando conviertas de una unidad
mayor a una menor, multiplica.
Cuando conviertas de una unidad
menor a una mayor, divide.
