Conversion should include
- U.S. customary and metric measurements of length, weight, volume, and temperature
- sizes of measurements relative to their basic units (e.g., deca-, hecto-, kilo-, mega-, deci-, centi-, milli-, and micro-)
- symbols associated with different measurements.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are the processes of converting lengths from one system to another?
- What is the mathematical relationship among the units of length in the metric system? How does this simplify the calculations involved?
