What's on this sheet
Metric conversion is a point moving: 3 m is 300 cm because the factor is a hundred and every metric factor is a power of ten. The customary ladders have nothing to lean on — 12, 3, 16, 2 and 4 — so each one is a real multiplication or division a child has to know and carry out. The standard names both systems, and a site that prints only the metric half is doing only the easy one.
Why this sheet works
Three ladders, each on its own sheet. Length runs inches to feet to yards; weight runs ounces to pounds; capacity runs cups to pints to quarts to gallons, which is the one children mix up because three of its four steps are doubling and the last is not.
