Transition to workbook
Read the first word problem then ask, what does this mean in your
own words? Have student dissect the question. What are we
looking for? What steps will we have to take? Class discussion. Have
student come to the board and class will work out the problem
together, as well as on their individual whiteboards, using the hands
on models when necessary.
Do this for another question to see how well the students grasp this
lesson.
Student If they are comfortable they will get questions to work on
individually, if not we will continue as a class if time permits.
Teacher/
Student
I will bring back the models and play the question out. The student will be able
to see the question come alive and see how the conversions are happening.
I will bring out the King Gallon anchor chart to have a different visual. This may
reach these learners needs by showing the information in a different way.

Why did you choose these
materials? Include any I chose to use the containers because I wanted my students to understand how the

also include people!) multiply and when to divide. I wanted to go deeper and have a good understanding of the
measurements. The anchor chart is used as a review after we have demonstrated. I
picked this because I wanted to supply them with a different visual that may reach other
students. I also included the foldable because this is way the students are writing and
staying on task. They can use this to refer back to during homework and classwork.
