How did the metric system come to be, and why does the US not use it very much? Your class can learn the answers to these questions with the reading passage included here and then respond to the five related questions.

Through a series of worksheets, mathematicians practice with various concepts of measurement. Conveniently, the 6 pages are easily broken up for individual assignments, and seem to progress in difficulty. Math concepts include drawing...

In this units of measure worksheet, 6th graders review the imperial and metric units of measure, complete a table to show conversions between the two types of measure.

Use this converting metric units worksheet to have your learners solve six word problems where they covert metric units of mass and capacity in order to arrive at an answer.

In this units of capacity worksheet, students read the word problems and solve the problems finding the metric units of capacity for each. In the 'use data' problem, students use the recipe to help them solve the problem.

Students measure using the metric system. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using grams, meters and liters. They convert between the US units of measurements and the Metric System.

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

In this metric learning exercise, students complete conversions, choose best measures for given items, then solve comparisons and 2 test prep questions. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Students investigate the use of the metric system within the context of cooking and reading a recipe. They make conversions with the recipe ingredients and then work in groups to create a book of recipes with colorfully designed pages.

In this metric system conversion instructional activity, students use dimensional analysis to convert metric and English units. There are 5 metric to metric problems and 10 metric to English problems.
