For example
Changing 2 metres into 200 centimetres is a conversion.
In Grade 5
Children convert between units using real measurements, so the change in size stays visible.
Watch out for
Children often move the decimal point the wrong way during a conversion. Decide first whether the answer should be bigger or smaller.
Say it at home
