Create an unlimited supply of worksheets for conversion of metric measuring units for grades 2-7. The worksheets can be made in html or PDF format – both are easy to print. You can also customize them using the generator below.
Conversions between measuring units are studied all through elementary school. Starting typically in grade 2 or 3, children practice easy conversions, such as changing a bigger unit into smaller units (4 cm into 40 mm) and the other way around (300 cm = 3 m). Later on they learn how to use decimal numbers in the conversions. Since the metric system is based on number 10, conversions between the units are very easy: they only involve multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc.
