A strategy to support students in math that I have been successful with is the use of visuals. I have created visuals for metric conversions (ex; kg to mg) and used the upper case "G" visual with c/p/q's to help students remember cutomary conversions of gallons, quarts, pints, cups. Using visuals is a very strong strategy to assist students with abstract concepts. Once practiced, students can recreate the visual when taking a test to support memory. If visuals were consistent between grades, (ie; the gallon one) this would be very helpful for the students.
