  1. Customary Measurement

  2. Customary Measurement • The United States uses customary units. Many other countries use the Metric System. • Examples of customary units include: inches, feet, yards, miles, cups, pints, quarts, gallons, ounces, pounds, and Fahrenheit temperature

  3. Tools for Measuring Length • We use certain tools for measuring length. • Can you think of a tool we use to measure length? • rulers, yard sticks, tape measures

  4. Length • We measure length in inches (in.), feet (ft), yards (yd), and miles (mi). • Shorter lengths are measured in inches, feet, and yards. • 12 inches = 1 foot 3 feet = 1 yard

  5. Customary Length • Longer distances are measured in miles. • It is about 1 mile from H.I.S. to Pizza Pro. • It takes about 20 minutes to walk one mile. • 5,280 feet = 1 mile 1,760 yards = 1 mile

  6. What unit could you use? • Would you use inches, feet, yards, or miles?

  7. Let’s Practice!

  22. Customary Capacity • Capacity is used to measure the volume of a container. How much can a container hold? • We use fluid ounces (fl oz), cups (c), pints (pt), quarts (qt), and gallons (gal).

  23. Tools for Measuring Capacity • We use certain tools for measuring capacity. • Can you think of any tools we use to measure capacity? • measuring cups, teaspoon, tablespoon

  24. Customary Capacity • We use fluid ounces to measure very small amounts of liquid. Medicine in a medicine dropper would be measured in ounces. • 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup

  25. Customary Capacity • 2 cups = 1 pint • 2 pints = 1 quart This is one pint and one quart

  26. Customary Capacity • 4 quarts = 1 gallon
