Learn on PengiEureka Math, Grade 4Chapter 34: Measurement Conversion Tables

Lesson 1: Create conversion tables for length, weight, and capacity units using measurement tools, and use the tables to solve problems.

Grade 4 students in Eureka Math Chapter 34 learn how to build and use measurement conversion tables for customary units of length, weight, and capacity. Using hands-on tools like balance scales and rulers, students discover relationships such as 16 ounces in a pound and apply multiplication strategies to convert between units. The lesson also introduces the distinction between the customary system and the metric system of measurement.

Section 1

Create a Two-Column Conversion Table

Property

A two-column conversion table shows pairs of equivalent measurements for two related units. To find the value in the second column (smaller unit), multiply the value in the first column (larger unit) by the conversion factor.

Value in Smaller Unit=Value in Larger Unit×Conversion Factor \text{Value in Smaller Unit} = \text{Value in Larger Unit} \times \text{Conversion Factor}
