4. Back to our EQ How can you apply your understanding of measurement units to express larger units in terms of smaller units within one system? How did we show our time conversions ? Heads down bottoms up! WE USED A TABLE!

5. Very Important Information! US Customary 1 teaspoon (tsp) = 1/3 tablespoon (tbsp) 1 tbs = 1 cup 8 fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 cup (c) 2 c = 1 pint (p) 2 p = 1 quart (q) 4 q = 1 gallon (g) Metric 1 liter (L) = 1000 (mL)

6. BRAINBREAK! Everybody Up!

7. Task 1: I do! How many cups are in four gallons?

8. Task 2: We do! How many fluid ounces (fl oz) are in 2 quarts (q)? Hmmm….I’m thinking we need to know how many fluid ounces are in a cup and then go from there!

9. Task 3: You do! How many quarts are in nine gallons? 36 q = 9 G

10. Metric…We do! How many mL are in 12 L
