Conversion of Measurements (Length, Mass, Volume)
Converting between different units of length, mass, and volume using decimal notation.
Key Questions
- Explain why the numerical value increases when we convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
- Analyze how our base-ten number system makes metric conversions simpler than other systems.
- Justify when it would be more practical to use milliliters instead of liters in a real-world report.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
