Level 2 – 5th Grade

Printable Task Cards

Preview Version

This teaching resource includes 32 printable task cards that cover the skill of converting customary

units of measurement. These cards can be used by students working alone, with partners, in teams,

in math centers, or in small guided math groups. The task cards are also perfect for whole group

formative assessment activities. There are two levels of task cards, sold separately, and they are

color-coded to make it easy to tell them apart. The orange Level 2 task cards in this set are aligned

with the 5th grade CCSS and have more advanced conversion problems than the blue task cards in

Level 1 which are aligned with the 4th grade CCSS. Both products include 10 bonus task cards which

can be used to assess prior knowledge. Recording forms and answer keys are included, too, as well

as color and black & white versions of the task cards.

Assessing Prior Knowledge with Basic Units Task Cards Before students can learn to convert between different units of

measurement, they must first know the basic units of length, weight, and

liquid volume. For example, before they can calculate how many inches

are in 3 feet, they must already know that 12 inches equals 1 foot. You

can use the 10 Basic Units of Measurement task cards to conduct a quick

formative assessment to check their understanding of these concepts.

The Basic Units of Measurement Teacher’s Guide and the yellow task

cards on the right are located in a separate folder in your product zip

file. These resources include printable task cards, digital task cards you

can project onto a whiteboard, and two interactive Google Slides task

card presentations. Use the task cards or Google Slides presentations to

quiz your students on basic customary units of conversion.

Effective and Engaging Task Card Strategies 1. Team Scoot - Team Scoot is an exciting cooperative learning activity that gets the whole class up

and moving around the room as they solve problems. To find the complete directions, click over

to my blog and read Team Scoot - A New Twist on an Old Favorite. For this activity, you’ll

need one set of task cards for the class and one recording form for each student.

2. Showdown - Showdown is another fun and effective cooperative learning

strategy. Students remain seated so it’s a less active than Scoot, but still very

engaging. Each team will need a set of task cards, and each student will

need a dry erase board and marker. Click over to my blog and read Show

What You Know for step-by-step directions.

3. Formative Assessment (Document Camera) - A quick and easy way to assess skills with task cards

is to display each task card, one at a time, under a document camera and project the image onto

a screen or whiteboard. Ask your students to solve the problems or answer the questions on

individual dry erase boards, and hold them up for you to check.
