Converting Units of Measurement Task Cards and Power Point Slides

Are you looking for a way to engage your learners during math lessons? If so, look no further. This set of 20 task cards will make a wonderful addition to your teaching toolbox. Learners in grade 5 and grade 6 will enjoy an added element of fun to their math assignment as they get up and move while learning. These task cards focus specifically on converting units of measurement in time, length, weight, and liquid volume. Make this the day’s assignment by posting the task cards around your educational environment and having learners travel to each card to solve the problem. They’ll work to find answers to direct questions, fill-in the blank statements, multiple choice questions, and word problems. You’ll find the word problems present your learners with real-world scenarios, making them more enjoyable to solve. For those times when you need a whole class activity, these task cards come with a corresponding set of 20 PowerPoint slides. Display each task card one at a time and have learners work at their seats to find the answers. Task cards are also a great small group activity and can be used as a learning game. The possibilities are endless. Included with the task cards is an answer recording sheet where your learners will write the answers to each task card. What’s best is that each answer recording sheet comes two to a page, saving you money on ink/toner or reducing the number of copies you make. Also, for your convenience, an answer key is provided with this product. Task cards are available in a color format, as well as in black & white. Both formats are identical.
