Converting Measurements - Student Reference Card
This card is a great personal reference for your students as they make their way through the unit on conversion. It is part of a larger unit designed to help students understand how to convert common metric units of length, mass and capacity.
Learning goals
- We are learning to convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity, i.e. millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, milligrams, grams, kilograms, tonnes, millilitres, litres, kilolitres and megalitres.
- We are learning to convert between common units of measurement for length, mass and capacity and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem, e.g. 1.25m = 125cm.
