Dear Measurers,

Today we will talk about capacity–how much something can hold. We use capacity everyday in our lives, but we don’t always understand how the different measures relate to each other. How many ups are in 13 pints? A goal for all fifth graders is to to know how to convert between measures of capacity.

To understand the world, we measure it. And like everything in math, there are many, many ways of expressing the same amount.

Please find a partner, dice, counters, game boards, and play a game or two of Yut.
