For example
Convert 3 metres of cloth into 300 centimetres before cutting.
In Grade 3
Children swap between metres and centimetres using real objects, so the change of unit makes sense.

Children often multiply when they should divide while converting. Ask first whether the new number should be bigger or smaller.

Measure something in centimetres and ask your child to say it in metres too.
