Sixteen ounces to a pound, four different ways to practice it. Converting units of weight customary finally has a worksheet that walks your student from simple multiplication all the way to word problems.
Designed for grades 4 and 5, this converting units of weight customary homeschool worksheet opens with a reference box reminding students that 1 lb equals 16 oz, then moves through four numbered sections. Section one asks students to convert whole pounds to ounces. Section two reverses the direction, asking students to express ounces as a combination of pounds and ounces. Section three mixes both directions in a single set, and section four presents two word problems where students must show their work and record a labeled answer.
This sheet works well as independent practice once you have introduced the 1 lb equals 16 oz relationship, or as a guided lesson where you work through one section together before releasing your student to finish the rest. Completing it builds fluency with multiplication by 16, reinforces division with remainders in a real-world context, and gives your homeschooler direct experience reading and applying a conversion fact. It fits naturally into a measurement unit study or as a standalone review before moving on to metric weight.


A pencil works best here so your student can revise their work in the word problem boxes without making a mess. Each section steps up in difficulty, so independent practice is reasonable for a student who already knows the conversion fact. If your homeschooler is meeting pounds and ounces for the first time, walk through section one together before they continue on their own.

Standard 20 lb copy paper handles pencil work cleanly on this one. Print a second copy to use as a re-do or timed review after a few days of practice.
