Our Goal

The customary system is the measurement system used in the

United States. It includes units of measurement for

length, weight, and capacity.

WHAT IS IT?

Part 1 Benchmarks

What is a benchmark?

If you do not have an instrument, such as a ruler, scale, or measuring cup, you can estimate the length, weight, and capacity

of an object by using a benchmark. It helps you visualize actual

measurements!
