Questions about Convert Metric Lengths

What does the Convert Metric Lengths worksheet cover?

It practises between centimetres, metres and kilometres — 12 questions for Grade 5, all on Common Core 5.MD.A.1: Convert between units of measurement. The instruction to pupils is “Fill in the missing number”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Convert Metric Lengths practise?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.MD.A.1 — 5.MD.A.1, in the Measurement & Data domain for Grade 5. The published standard reads: “Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system, and use these conversions in solving multi-step real world problems.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Does Convert Metric Lengths come with an answer key?

Yes. All 12 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Convert Metric Lengths can I print?

25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
