Common Measures

Try introducing this assigment on converting measurement by presenting a scenario: "Last night I found a recipe for cookies, and it called for a half pint of butter. All I had was measuring cups - what should I do?" As learners discuss possible solutions, guide the discussion to conversions. This worksheet gives conversions for length, liquid, and weight measurements. Then, learners convert thirty measurements. Explain, model, and practice before they take this home.
