About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 12 word problems converting between millimeters, centimeters and meters.
This worksheet converts between millimeters, centimeters and meters inside a word problem, matching the shape of a released test item. In metric the four choices come out as the same digits with different numbers of zeros - three, thirty, three thousand, thirty thousand - and that is exactly right, because the mistake metric invites is not which operation but how many places. A student who knows that a centimeter is ten millimeters still has to decide whether three hundred centimeters is thirty or three thousand millimeters. Every option is a whole number, so none can be eliminated for arriving untidy, and each wrong answer is a specific slip rather than a random number. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
