Converting measurement units (age 9+)
Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system (km/m/cm/mm, kg/g, l/ml, hr/min/sec); convert between different metric units and express measurements in terms of a smaller unit; record equivalents in conversion tables
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
