| conversion | A change in one unit of measure to another. You can only do this within the same system. Ex: metric to metric, customary to customary. We do not convert between two different systems. Ex: 12 in = 1 ft Ex: 100 cm = 1,000 mm Ex: 1 gal = 4 qt |
| cubic centimeter (cu cm) | Volume made by a cube that is 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm. |
| cubic foot (cu ft) | Volume made by a cube that is 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft. |
| cubic inch (cu in) | Volume made by a cube that is 1 in x 1 in x 1 in. |
| cubic meter (cu m) | Volume made by a cube that is 1 m x 1 m x 1 m. |
| cup (c) | A customary measure of capacity. The abbreviation is c. 1 c = 8 fl oz |

| edge | The line where two surfaces (face) meet. |
| foot (ft) | A customary measure of length equal to 12 inches. The abbreviation is ft. 1 ft = 12 in |
| formula | Numbers and symbols that show how to work something out. Ex: Volume = L x W x H Ex: Area = L x W Ex: Perimeter = S + S + S + S |
| gallon (gal) | A customary measure of capacity. The abbreviation is gal 1 gal = 4 qt = 16 c |
| gram (g) | A metric unit of mass (weight). The abbreviation is g. 1,000 grams = 1 Kilogram |
| height | The vertical distance from top to bottom |
| inch (in) | A customary measure of length equal to 1/12 foot or 1/36 yard. The abbreviation is in. 1 in = 1/12 ft = 1/36 yd |
| kilogram (kg) | A metric measure of mass (weight). The abbreviation is kg. 1 kg = 1,000 grams |

| ounce (oz) | A customary unit for measuring weight & capacity. Ounce is abbreviated as oz. 16 ounces = 1 pound |
| pint (pt) | A customary measure of capacity. The abbreviation is pt. 1 pt = 2 c |
| pound (lb) | A customary unit of measuring weight. Pound is abbreviated as lb. 1 pound = 16 ounces |
| quart (qt) | A customary measure of capacity. The abbreviation is qt. 1 qt = 2 pt = 4 cups |
| right rectangular prism | A solid (3-dimensional) object which has six faces that are rectangles. |
| unit cube | A unit used to measure Volume. |
| Volume | The amount of space an object takes up. |
