Use These Metric Conversion Posters in Your Classroom Today!

Are your students struggling to remember the different types of metric units and how to convert them? This can be a tricky skill, especially since the metric system is not a common standard of measurement in our day-to-day lives. When teaching about the metric system, it is important for students to understand the meaning of the different prefixes (milli-, centi-, kilo-, etc.). While not all of the measurements may be familiar for all students, understanding how the prefixes relate to each unit is important to understand the relative size of each. These posters can make a great addition to your measurement conversion unit.    

With this poster pack, students will have a visual representation showing the different types of metric units and how to convert within them. The poster pack includes one poster for:  

• Metric Units of Length
• Metric Units of Weight
• Metric Units of Capacity
• Standard Units of Time
