In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 35, students practice solving multi-step measurement word problems involving customary units of capacity and length, such as converting between quarts, cups, gallons, feet, and inches. Students apply the RDW (Read-Draw-Write) problem-solving strategy to model, calculate, and interpret solutions across a series of word problems. The lesson builds on prior work with mixed numbers and unit conversions to strengthen fluency with compound measurement units.
Section 1
Solve Multi-Step Measurement Word Problems
To solve a multi-step measurement problem, break it down into smaller, single-step parts. Use the RDW (Read, Draw, Write) process to model the entire problem, identify the necessary intermediate calculations, and then solve for the final answer. An intermediate calculation is a step that provides a value needed for the final step.
