Converting Lengths - Meters and Centimeters WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 4th Grade, 5th Grade
CCSS: 4.MD.A.1, 5.MD.A.1
CCSS Description: Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36), …
CCSS Description: Convert among different‑sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi‑step, real world problems.

Converting Lengths - Meters and Centimeters WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Prepare your students to measure, compare, add, and subtract lengths fluently in meters and centimeters by first looking at some equivalent measurements.
Learners will use a double number line to find the equivalence of whole numbers of meters and centimeters in section A. Lengths in cm, such as 290 cm, are partitioned into cm and m in section B using part part whole models. Fractional lengths in meters are considered in section C where students calculate how many cm there are in ¼ , ½, and ¾ of a meter before applying this to find equivalences such as 150 cm = 1 ½ m.
