Measurement Conversions and Functions

In Lesson 16, students learn about converting measurements in the U.S. customary system, including units of weight, length, and liquid measure. The lesson introduces the Big G tool for visualizing liquid measurements and covers key temperature milestones on the Fahrenheit scale. Students solve problems using conversion knowledge and function tables, learning to apply rules to find unknown numbers and calculate perimeters.
