      TEKS 5.7A: Convert Measurements

      • Metric Measurement Problems

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can solve problems by calculating conversions within a metric system​.

        Focuses On:

        • Converting larger measurement units to smaller units
        • Converting smaller measurement units to larger units
        • Comparing measurements

        Builds On:

        4.8C:

        Solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate.

        Next Level:

        6.4H:

        Convert units within a measurement system, including the use of proportions and unit rates.

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of metric measurement units and how to convert from larger to smaller and smaller to larger. Students use conversions to compare measurements with different given units.


        The instructional block in this lesson focuses on measurement problems. It begins by teaching strategies to convert larger measurement units to smaller ones using multiplication. It progresses in difficulty as students use division skills to convert smaller measurement units into larger ones. Students then use these skills to compare measurements when different units are used.


        This lesson should be taught before 5.4H.
