Relative Sizes of Units in Customary & Metric Systems

T.I.P.S.

Students must be able to select the most appropriate measurement units when describing the size of an object.

Example

Read the questions below and use paper if necessary. a) Would the liquid volume of a medium snow cone best be described as a pint, a quart, or a gallon? b) Between the length of a pencil, a ski boot, and a baseball bat, which would most likely have a length of 40 cm? 

Hint  

Possible Solution 

TEKS

Supporting Standard 4.8 Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to select appropriate customary and metric units, strategies, and tools to solve problems involving measurement. The student is expected to: (A) identify relative sizes of measurement units within the customary and metric systems
