metric MEASUREMENT CONVERSIONS Common Core Standards: 4.MD.1 & 4.MD.2 By: Arielle Pickrel I recommend using the following pages as an upfront display for students while learning the metric prefixes and conversions. The display uses the pneumonic “King Henry Doesn’t Usually Drink Chocolate Milk” to help learners remember the order of the metric pre-fixes. Add in the arrows with multiply/divide by 10 and students will have metric measurement conversions down in no time! The following is a desktop version of the metric conversion chart. It uses the same familiar language as the classroom display. The student desktop conversion chart comes two to a page. I recommend laminating these for students. My students like to use their fingers to count the jumps from one prefix to another, however some like using dry-erase markers and drawing the jumps out as well. “Find Someone Who…” is a great way for students to practice metric conversions. This game gets students up and moving while solving the conversions. Every student is instantly motivated by the prospect of winning a game! In this game, there are no turns or outs, so all students are always engaged. Students cannot answer the same question more than twice throughout the game, this ensures that students are giving all conversion types a go! I also tell my students that they cannot sign more than one (or two, depending on how many students are present) box on another persons paper. Conversion Land takes metric conversions one step further! This game follows a typical board game, however all students must solve all equations-again no turns or outs. Complete student engagement through the entire game! There are 40 game cards that are a mix of basic conversions along with some more difficult word problems. You can play the game with the included game board, or any other game board template. I recommend printing the student directions, game board, and game cards all on the same color paper but keep different game sets on different colors. This helps to know which pieces belong to which set, because we all know that a piece will inevitably get misplaced! ;) Thank you for your purchase!
