Students solve problems using the metric system. In this algebra lesson plan, students convert between the metric system and the Imperial system. They use these two systems to solve real life problems.

Students use a shortcut method to change one metric unit to another (Ex: kilometers to centimeters), by using a diagram which uses words students can relate and remember.

In this math worksheet, pupils convert metric measurements to standard and back. Students convert inches to cm and mm using an information chart to help.

Students use, read and write with metric units. They practice converting from larger to smaller units. Afterwards, they construct a scale drawing of a bridge. In addition, they construct these two designs, using the same scale of 1cm to...

Students practice converting units of measurement using the ladder method.  In this metric conversion activity students practice converting metric measurements and filling out the worksheet. 

In this converting measurements worksheet, students use the millimeter to meter conversion tool to help them convert the given measurements. Students solve twenty four problems.

In this math activity, students choose the appropriate unit of measurement in 12 problems. Students then convert metric units to larger or smaller measurements and also change metric to standard measurements.
