| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 minutes | Introduce the topic of metric units. Explain why metric units are important and where they are used. |
| 2 | Unit Overview | 5 minutes | Present a brief overview of the different metric units: mm, cm, m, L, g. Discuss their conversions. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 minutes | Work through some examples of converting between metric units as a class using the conversion chart. |
| 4 | Hands-On Activity | 5 minutes | Use rulers and other measuring tools. Have students measure objects and record their measurements in metric units. |
| 5 | Individual Practice | 5 minutes | Distribute worksheets with conversion problems for students to complete individually at their desks. |
| 6 | Review and Wrap Up | 5 minutes | Review key points from the lesson, answering any questions. Briefly check homework assigned for completion. |
Assign a worksheet where students convert measurements in practical scenarios (e.g., recipes requiring metric measurements). Collect and check homework without presenting it in front of the class.
Use exit tickets at the end of the class to assess understanding of metric units and conversions. Students can write down one thing they learned and one question they still have.
