Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning how to Convert Units in the metric system! Converting means changing from one unit to another (like centimetres to metres). The magic rule is: multiply or divide by 10, 100, or 1000. Super easy because it's all based on 10! Ready to become a unit converter? Let’s go! 🚀
🪄 The Magic Conversion Rule
To go from bigger unit to smaller unit → Multiply
To go from smaller unit to bigger unit → Divide
Length Ladder: km → m → cm → mm
Each step = ×10 or ÷10
✍️ Easy Examples
1. 4 metres = ___ centimetres
4 × 100 = 400 cm
2. 3000 grams = ___ kilograms
3000 ÷ 1000 = 3 kg
3. 1.5 litres = ___ millilitres
1.5 × 1000 = 1500 mL
🎯 Let’s Practice Converting!
1. 250 cm = ___ metres
2. 5 km = ___ metres

4. 0.75 L = ___ mL
🌍 Converting in Real Life
