Learn on PengiEureka Math, Grade 4Chapter 34: Measurement Conversion Tables

Lesson 2: Create conversion tables for length, weight, and capacity units using measurement tools, and use the tables to solve problems.

In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 34, students build conversion tables for length, weight, and capacity units by using hands-on measurement tools such as gallon, quart, and pint containers. They discover conversion rules — for example, multiplying gallons by 4 to find quarts — and apply those rules to solve multi-step problems. The lesson reinforces key unit relationships including kilometers to meters, yards to feet, and liters to milliliters.

Section 1

Determine a Conversion Rule from a Table

Property

A conversion table shows the relationship between two units of measurement. When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, the conversion rule is to multiply by a constant number called the conversion factor.

Number of Smaller Units=Number of Larger Units×Conversion Factor\text{Number of Smaller Units} = \text{Number of Larger Units} \times \text{Conversion Factor}
