Looking for a real-world situation to practice converting units? In this problem, learners must change miles per gallon to liters per km (or vice versa) to determine which car gets better gas miileage. It is a relatively short problem,...

students convert the temperature readings from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. they predict and create a graph of what the graph of altitude (x-axis) versus temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (y-axis) might look like.

For this measurement conversions worksheet, students solve the problems by converting the measurements in each problem to the given systems.

Students participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.

Sixth graders translate sports vocabulary words from English to Spanish and complete money problems containing decimals. In this money and sports lesson plan, 6th graders use words to communicate to each other.

Fifth graders complete activity pages. In this operations and problem solving lesson plan, 5th graders use the Internet to gather baseball statistics, solve problems and convert units.

For this metric worksheet, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.

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

Students participate in a Metric Olympics event and use metric measurements to measure actual performances in their events. They throw a plastic straw for a javelin event, participate in a long jump and high jump event, and a variety of...

In this metric worksheet, students read about the metric system and British system of measurement. They answer 58 questions about the metric system and convert from one unit of measurement to another.

In this measurement instructional activity, 2nd graders calculate four metric conversions, including inches to centimeters and ounces to millimeters.  

In this measure conversion learning exercise, 3rd graders answer ten multiple choice questions based on converting measurements.

Students use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

Students study the egg code to learn about sea ice. For this sea ice lesson, students discuss and view a diagram to learn about the egg code when describing sea ice and its thickness. Students work in groups to play a game using the egg...

Students examine tree-ring dating and discuss the lack of water the settlers in Jamestown faced. They create paper tree rings, simulate rain patterns, and describe the history of construction paper tree sequences.

In this algebra worksheet, students analyze the designs of a speedometer. They collect data on the distance and time as the speedometer works. They draw conclusion and make predictions from the collected data. There are 4 word problems.

Students explore measuring with metric rulers. In this math lesson, students measure two-dimensional objects using metric units.

Tenth graders study the metric system.  For this metric lesson students complete a lab activity and several metric worksheets. 

This site allows you to type in an area of measurement you want to be converted. The site converts it for you!

This site allows you to type in various lengths you want to covert. For example, if you want to find out how many feet there are in 10 meters, you can submit that information and get the answer.

Students learn how to convert between cubed miles and cubed kilometers. Definitions and an example are included in the video lesson.

In this lesson young scholars will explore the use of pictures and maps to represent physical spaces. We will explore the concepts of scale and conversions between pictures, maps and real-world units. Conversions between kilometers and...
