Grade 4 · Common Core State Standards: 4.MD.A.1, 4.MD.A.2

Exercise 1 – Kilometers to meters

1 km = 1,000 m, so multiply: \(4 \times 1{,}000 = 4{,}000\).

4,000 m

Exercise 2 – Meters to centimeters

1 m = 100 cm, so \(7 \times 100 = 700\).

700 cm

Exercise 3 – Kilograms to grams

Each kilogram is 1,000 g. Three blocks: \(3 \times 1{,}000 = 3{,}000\).

3,000 g

Exercise 4 – Liters to milliliters

1 L = 1,000 mL, so \(5 \times 1{,}000 = 5{,}000\).

5,000 mL

Exercise 5 – Pounds to ounces

1 lb = 16 oz, so \(2 \times 16 = 32\).

32 oz

Exercise 6 – Hours to minutes

Move to 3 hr on the top line. The bottom line shows 180. Check: \(3 \times 60 = 180\).

180 min

Exercise 7 – Minutes to seconds

1 min = 60 sec, so \(5 \times 60 = 300\).

300 sec

Exercise 8 – Mixed length

\(2\text{ m} = 2 \times 100 = 200\text{ cm}\). Add 35: \(200 + 35 = 235\).

235 cm

Exercise 9 – Fill the conversion table

Multiply each number of kilograms by 1,000.

  1. \(1 \times 1{,}000 = 1{,}000\)
  2. \(2 \times 1{,}000 = 2{,}000\)
  3. \(6 \times 1{,}000 = 6{,}000\)
  4. \(8 \times 1{,}000 = 8{,}000\)

1,000 g; 2,000 g; 6,000 g; 8,000 g

Exercise 10 – Compare liquid volumes

Change liters to milliliters: \(2 \times 1{,}000 = 2{,}000\text{ mL}\).

Compare \(2{,}000\) and \(2{,}500\): 2,000 is less.

\(2\text{ L} < 2{,}500\text{ mL}\)

Exercise 11 – Hours and minutes

\(3 \times 60 = 180\), then \(180 + 20 = 200\).

200 min

Exercise 12 – Pounds and ounces

\(4 \times 16 = 64\), then \(64 + 6 = 70\).

70 oz

Exercise 13 – Minutes and seconds

\(2 \times 60 = 120\), then \(120 + 15 = 135\).

135 sec

Exercise 14 – Which is longer?

\(3\text{ m} = 300\text{ cm}\), so \(3\text{ m } 5\text{ cm} = 305\text{ cm}\).

Compare \(305\) and \(350\): 350 is greater.

350 cm is longer.

Exercise 15 – Trail walk

Change the trail to meters: \(3 \times 1{,}000 = 3{,}000\), then \(3{,}000 + 250 = 3{,}250\text{ m}\).

Subtract the part walked: \(3{,}250 – 1{,}800 = 1{,}450\).

1,800 m1,450 m3,250 m
Check: 1,800 + 1,450 = 3,250.

1,450 m left

Exercise 16 – Milk bottle

\(2\text{ L} = 2{,}000\text{ mL}\).

Amount poured: \(750 + 450 = 1{,}200\).

Left: \(2{,}000 – 1{,}200 = 800\).

800 mL

Exercise 17 – Movie time

Start at 3:15. Add 2 hours: 5:15. Add 50 minutes: 5:15 + 0:45 = 6:00, plus 5 more minutes is 6:05.

2 hr50 min2 hr 50 min3:15 PM then 5:15 PM then 6:05 PM
Two steps on a timeline.

6:05 PM

Exercise 18 – Backpack weight

Backpack: \(3 \times 16 = 48\), then \(48 + 9 = 57\text{ oz}\).

Add the lunch: \(57 + 12 = 69\text{ oz}\).

48 oz9 oz12 oz69 oz
3 lb is 48 oz.

\(69 = 4 \times 16 + 5\), so 69 oz is 4 lb 5 oz.

69 oz = 4 lb 5 oz

Exercise 19 – Ribbon cost

\(250\text{ cm} = 2\text{ m } 50\text{ cm}\). Two meters cost \(2 \times 6 = 12\) dollars.

50 cm is half a meter, so it costs half of $6, which is $3.

Total: \(12 + 3 = 15\).

$15

Exercise 20 – Cookie baking

Baking: \(60 + 45 = 105\text{ min}\).

Total: \(105 + 25 + 50 = 180\text{ min}\).

\(180 = 3 \times 60\), so that is 3 hours. 9:30 AM + 3 hours = 12:30 PM.

180 min; he finishes at 12:30 PM
