Information Packet For Families

Unit Conversions and Problem Solving

with Metric Measurement

Grade 4, Module Two

Information Packet for Families

In this module, we use length, mass and capacity in the metric system to

convert between units using place value knowledge. Students recognize

patterns of converting units on the place value chart, just as 1000 grams

is equal 1 kilogram, 1000 ones is equal to 1 thousand. Conversions are

recorded in two-column tables and number lines, and are applied in

single- and multi-step word problems solved by the addition and

subtraction algorithm or a special strategy. Mixed unit practice

prepares students for multi-digit operations and manipulating fractional

units in future modules.
