In this one time class, students will learn to confidently convert metric and customary measurements using a tic-tac-toe board.

Class Experience

In this class, we will learn a method for converting metric and customary units that takes the guesswork out of deciding to multiply or divide. Instead of simply memorizing a rule for what to do when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit or vice-versa, students will organize what they know and what they need to know in order to create a plan for solving. We will use context-based situations to ground the mathematical concept in the real-world and to deepen understanding. 

In order...

Students will be able to convert metric and customary units both when moving from a larger to a smaller unit and when moving from a smaller to a larger unit.

0A personal whiteboard and expo markers are highly recommended, but paper and pencil works as well. It would also be helpful for students to have a basic conversion chart printed for reference such as this one: https://www.pcsb.org/cms/lib/FL01903687/Centricity/Domain/170/FSA_Grade_5_Mathematics_ReferenceSheet.pdf
