Diagrams to show how to remember the order of the seven metric units (Kilo, hector, deka, m, deci,
centi, and milli.)
Diagram that shows how to convert from each of the seven metric units. (divide by ten going up
and multiply by ten going down. Or just move the decimal over however many times. Going from
mm to m move the decimal to the left three times.)

Time
(min.) Process Components
5 *Anticipatory Set
Students and teacher will go over the math morning work.
Students will get into their math groups
The first group of students will come to the back table (group 4)
The other three groups will work on their math google slides, their exemplar from two
weeks ago, tenmarks, or math games.
*State the Objectives (grade-level terms)
I can convert customary measurements to other customary measurements
25-30 *Instructional Input or Procedure
Students will start into metric units. I will show them both of my diagrams and then give
them a couple of practice problems. 30cm = __300__ mm, 2564mm = __2.564__m, 6km
= __6000__m
.5 *Modeling
The teacher will take a white board and write the diagrams that are described in the
materials section.
3 *Check for Understanding
TTW call on students to tell her what the order of the metric units are. (K,H,D,M,D,C,Mm)
2 *Guided Practice
The group will do one or two problems together depending on if they get it.
9000m=__9__km 3219cm = __32.19__ m
*Independent Practice
The teacher will give practice problems from the math textbook page 555
questions
Assessment
The teacher will watch as students answer the questions to see who is understanding the
process and who will need more help later on.
*Closure
The teacher will give two problems for students as an exit ticket.
765 inches = ___21__ yards __9__ inches
27 feet = ___325___ inches
6km = __600,000__cm
.23 meters = __230__ mm
Differentiation Strategies (enrichment, accommodations, remediation, or by learning style).
C.E.C. & O.B. have been having difficulties remember the order of the different metric units. I found
an acronym to remember it and I’m gonna see if it helps them (King Henry Died Making Dark
Chocolate Milk = Kilo, Hecto, Deka, M, Deci, Centi, Milli)
Classroom Management Issues (optional)
When the students are at the back table, the teacher will keep them on task by talking to students
who try to get everyone off task. She may send students back to their desk if they get too out of

hand. For students who are talking while supposed to be working, they will have to go back to their
seats or they will get checks if they are at their desks. If they are playing games then they will lose
Chromebook privileges.
Lesson Critique. To be completed following the lesson. Did your students meet the objective(s)? What part
of the lesson would you change? Why?
