Unit conversion starts in 3rd grade, focusing on length, mass, and capacity. By 5th grade, it includes complex applications, such as areas and volumes, expanding further in high school.
Tutero's unit lesson plan includes a variety of practice questions to apply unit conversions. It ranges from simple to complex scenarios, preparing students for real-life applications and assessments.
In Tutero's unit conversion lesson, students learn to convert units by calculating resource requirements and converting one unit to another to determine quantities needed. This hands-on approach allows students to apply mathematical concepts to various everyday situations, enhancing their problem-solving abilities and practical understanding of measurement systems.
The lesson plan includes enabling prompts to assist students who need help grasping basic concepts, and extending prompts to challenge those ready to advance. These prompts encourage deeper understanding and application of unit conversions, tailored to meet diverse learning needs within the classroom.

Length and Area Conversions
At Tutero, students start their journey with engaging activities that use informal units to grasp the basic concepts of length and area. As they progress, our platform introduces interactive lessons using formal units like centimeters and meters, with digital tools that help students visualize and perform conversions. By 5th grade, Tutero’s tailored lessons enable students to undertake complex calculations involving perimeter and area, supporting their learning with real-world applications and interactive problem-solving exercises.
Volume, Capacity, and Mass
Tutero introduces young learners to the concepts of volume, capacity, and mass through hands-on virtual experiments and comparisons using non-standard units. As students advance, they use Tutero’s interactive modules to explore standard units like liters and kilograms and engage in virtual lab activities to measure and estimate capacity and mass. By 5th grade, the platform offers sophisticated simulation tasks that challenge students to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios, enhancing their understanding through conversion exercises and multi-step problems.
Time Conversions
Starting with the fundamental skills of reading clocks and understanding calendars, Tutero’s lessons evolve to include detailed exercises on time measurement and conversion by 3rd grade. The interactive lessons allow students to manipulate time in virtual settings, enhancing their understanding of minutes, hours, and days. By 5th grade, Tutero provides complex challenges such as calculating time intervals and planning schedules using interactive timetables, preparing students for real-world applications of their time management skills.
