Key idea

Choose a common unit, plan the operations, and check the answer in its context.

Sample problems

  1. A ribbon is 2 m long. Cut off 35 cm. How many centimeters remain? Use 1 m = 100 cm.
  2. Buy 5 notebooks at 125 cents each. Pay 2,000 cents. How much change is due?
  3. A lesson starts at 9:10 a.m. and lasts 45 min. Find the ending time.
  4. 2 L of juice is shared into 250 mL cups. How many FULL cups? Use 1 L = 1,000 mL.

Common mistakes to watch for

  • A student subtracts 35 from 2 without first renaming meters as centimeters.
  • 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.
