Unit conversionMedium — both directions, half steps
Convert each mass between grams and kilograms. 1 kg = 1000 g.
Grams and kilograms are the metric weights a child meets on food packets and a kitchen scale. These free printable sheets practice converting between them — a thousand grams to the kilogram, every step a power of ten.
If they get stuck

The answer key prints on a separate page.
A kilogram is a thousand grams, so converting mass is the same place-value shift as length, one factor further along: 2 kg is 2000 g, 3500 g is 3.5 kg. To a smaller unit multiply, to a larger unit divide, and the amounts stay whole or half so the decision is the lesson, not the sum.
Both directions turn up on every page, because always multiplying or always dividing is exactly the habit the topic has to break. Each question is a single conversion, at a size a child can reason about against something real — a bag of flour, a small child — rather than an abstract string of zeros.
One question from a sheet like this one, worked a step at a time — with a sentence saying what just happened and why.
