Customary Measurements PowerPoint Lesson: Length, Weight, Capacity

Are you looking for an organized PowerPoint to use to introduce your students to U.S. customary units of measurement? If so, this highly interactive 95-slide PowerPoint may be exactly what you are looking for! The PowerPoint can be used to create multiple lessons and be used over several days. So many practice opportunities are included for measuring length, mass, and capacity with metric units! Conversion tables, word problems, estimation problems, and multiple-choice questions are some of the practice problems included.

There are four main sections in this PowerPoint:

1. Introduction to Measurement (definitions for length, weight, capacity, and unit): 13 slides
2. Measuring Length with the U.S. Customary System (inches, feet, yards & miles): 27 slides
3. Measuring Weight with the U.S. Customary System (ounces, pounds & tons): 27 slides
4. Measuring Capacity with the U.S. Customary System (cups, pints, quarts, & gallons): 29 slides

EACH section (length, mass, and capacity) includes slides that focus on the following skills:

• Conversions (example: 4 feet = 48 inches)
• Conversion tables
• Estimating Units of Measurement (example: estimating how many gallons are in a swimming pool)
• Comparing 2 measurements (>, <, or =)
• Ordering 3 measurements from greatest to least
• Ordering 3 measurements from least to greatest
• Multiple-Choice Questions (ordering 4 measurements)
• Word Problems

***A PowerPoint companion handout is also included in this file. As you advance through the PowerPoint, students can record their answers on the handout. The companion handout is available in both printable format or digital format.**

PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!
