Key idea

Use a stated unit relationship to rename the same amount within one measurement system.

Sample problems

  1. Convert 3 m to cm. Use 1 m = 100 cm. Explain the size of the new count.
  2. Convert 2 kg to g. Use 1 kg = 1000 g. Explain the size of the new count.
  3. Convert 4 ft to in. Use 1 ft = 12 in. Explain the size of the new count.
  4. Express 2 m 35 cm using only centimeters.

Common mistakes to watch for

  • A student writes 3 m = 30 cm because they use ten instead of the given hundred centimeters per meter.
  • Name the quantities and units before choosing an operation.
  • A claim needs an explanation or a counterexample, not just an answer.

The answer key explains each one, so you can tell what a wrong answer means.

How to use this set

  1. Teach with the slides (about 15 minutes): a warm-up, the big ideas, a “spot the slip” challenge, Mr DJ’s worked example, and a pick-your-pepper round on whiteboards. Or watch the video together.
  2. Practice with the worksheet. Everyone does Mild and Medium, then climbs to Spicy and Extra Spicy.
  3. Check understanding with the exit ticket, and send the homework home.
  4. Mark with the answer key — each answer shows the steps and the most likely mistake. The slides’ teacher notes are in the key too.
