Units of Measurement

The goal of this MindMap is to give students a quick reference point to find the different measurements used in both the U.S. Customary System and the International System. The intended audience for this MindMap is elementary students in grades 4-6.

U.S. Customary System

The U.S. Customary Units of Length are:
Inch
Foot
Yard
Mile

This website shows the different units of length in the U.S. Customary System.

Inch, Foot, Yard, Mile

The measurements for volume using the U.S. Customary System are:
Cubic Inches
Cubic Feet
Cubic Yards

Cubic Inch, Cubic Foot, Cubic Yard

The standard unit of temperature measurement in the United States is Fahrenheit. The video explains how to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.

This YouTube video shows how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius.

This link is a chart to show what each unit of measurement of weight means.

Ounce, Pound, Ton

1 Cup=Ounces(oz.)
1 Pint=16 Ounces or 2 cups
1 Quart=32 Ounces or 2 Pints
1 Gallon=128 Ounces or 4 Quarts

The GallonBot is a tool to use to show the relationship between the different measurements for capacity.

Cup, Pint, Quart, Gallon

Area is measured in Square Inches, Square Feet, Square Yards, Acres, and Square Miles in the U.S. Customary System.
