Converting measurement units. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

I can change a rate to a new unit and a new time, such as 9 kilometers each hour to meters each minute.
I can use a price for one unit when I buy another unit, such as feet priced and yards bought.
I can compare two speeds in different units by putting them in the same units.
I can find a mistake in a conversion by asking whether the answer should be a bigger or a smaller number.

Standard: 6.RP.A.3d

conversion fact: How many small units make one big unit, like 1 foot = 12 inches.

convert: Change a measurement to a different unit, same amount.

rate: How much of one thing for each one of another, like meters each minute.

unit price: What one unit costs, like the cost of one foot.

times as long: How many copies of the short time fit in the long time.

Your child subtracted two numbers that count different units, such as yards and feet.

Your child changed the amount that was already in the small unit.

Your child changed the unit and stopped, without finishing the rest of the question (dividing by the time, the piece size or the other quantity).

Ask: do both numbers count the same size of unit?

Ask: which unit is each number counting?

Ask: what does the question ask for in the end?
