Module 10: Measurements & Volume-Math 5B - Course Guide

Module Overview:

In this module, students will learn about converting length, weight, and volume measurements in the customary measurement system. Students will learn about converting measurements in the metric system of measurement. Students will learn about measuring length to one-eighth of an inch. Students will learn about line plots. Students will learn about measuring weight to the nearest one-eighth. Students will learn about the relationship between area and volume.

Module Objectives:

Lesson #	Lesson Title	Objective(s)
1	Length Conversions	Convert length measurements within the customary system of measurement.
2	Weight Conversions	Convert weight measurements within the customary measurement system.
3	Volume Conversions	Convert volume measurements within the customary measurement system.
4	Metric Conversions	Convert measurements within the metric system. Solve multistep measurement conversions in real-world problems. Explain how the base-10 system supports conversions within the metric system.
5	Measuring Length	Measure objects to one-eighth of a unit of length.
6	Line Plots	Solve word problems involving information presented in line plots by using operations on fractions. Evaluate line plots to answer questions. Find the mean of a data set.
7	Reading a Scale	Measure objects to one-eighth of a unit of weight.
8	Line Plot Problems	Display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit of weight on a line plot. Evaluate line plots to solve real-world problems.
9	Volume	Define volume.
10	Area vs. Volume	Use models to demonstrate the relationship between area and volume. Define the standard units for measuring volume. Identify the dimensions that are used to find solid volume (length, width, height).

Module Guiding Questions:

When a student starts a lesson ask them questions to check for prior knowledge and understanding and to review concepts being taught. At the end of the lesson ask the questions again to see if their answer changes.

Module Video Questions:

When a student watches a video take time to ask them questions about what they watched. Suggested questions for the videos in this module are listed here. Suggestion: Have the student watch the entire video first all the way through. Then have them watch the video a second time, as they watch it pause the video and ask the questions.

Module Suggested Read Aloud Books:

Take time to read to your student or have them read aloud to you. Read a different book each day. While reading the book point out concepts being taught. You may purchase these books or find them at your local library. Suggested things to discuss while reading the book:

What is the main idea?
What are three things new you learned?
How does this book relate to what you are learning about?
