- convert between metric units of measurements for volume and capacity,
- compare capacity by converting between different metric units,
- solve problems by converting between metric measurements of capacity.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the relationship between liters and milliliters and how to convert between them,
- multiplying and dividing by powers of 10.
Exclusions
