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

Lesson 3: Create conversion tables for units of time, and use the tables to solve problems.

In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 34, students learn to create conversion tables for units of time, including minutes to seconds, hours to minutes, and days to hours. Students apply multiplication rules, such as multiplying by 60 or 24, to complete the tables and solve multi-step problems involving larger values like 16 minutes, 18 hours, and 36 hours. The lesson builds fluency with time unit relationships and reinforces the connection between conversion factors and repeated multiplication.

Section 1

Creating and Using Time Conversion Tables

Property

A two-column conversion table relates a larger unit of time (column 1) to a smaller unit (column 2). To find any value in the second column, multiply the corresponding value from the first column by the constant conversion factor.

(Value in Smaller Unit)=(Value in Larger Unit)×(Conversion Factor)(\text{Value in Smaller Unit}) = (\text{Value in Larger Unit}) \times (\text{Conversion Factor})
