Measurement Conversions and Capacity

This video tutorial for fifth-graders covers Go Math Lesson 10.2 on customary capacity. It introduces the lesson objective of comparing, contrasting, and converting customary units of capacity. The video defines the term 'capacity' and presents two problems: Mara's paint problem and Coral's fruit punch problem. Students learn to convert units from cups to fluid ounces and from pints to gallons using division and multiplication. The tutorial concludes with instructions to complete an exit slip and encourages students to understand the lesson objectives.
