Students solve three real-world metric and customary problems — water bottles filling a 3-liter container, a trail length in meters, and batches from a sugar supply. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about yards-to-feet, grams-to-kilograms, and quarts-to-cups.
Real-world measurement problems that mix metric and customary units build the flexible conversion reasoning students use in science, cooking, and all applied math contexts at Grade 5.
