Let's think of conversions that US students need to learn
What do students in the USA need to learn?
km
liters
ml
degrees C
Do you have some tricks to share?
3.72 liters = 1 gallon
Notice the pattern: the "tens" go up (as the temperature increases) and the "ones" go down. For example, when the temperature goes fro 20 C to 25 C, the temp in F goes from 68 F to 77 F.
95 F 35
86 30
77 25
68 20
59 15
50 F 10 C
41 5
32 0
16 km = 10 miles, so that ratio works well.
8 5
160 km 100 miles
80 50
40 25
And how about A4 paper?
