Find a quantity of any product in the English system that you are used to using: a quart of milk, a gallon of gasoline, etc, and derive a detailed conversion to any analogous metric unit. For example, convert gallons to liters. Next, convert the price of that product from dollars per (English unit) to dollars per (metric unit). Follow up with other students and continue converting from their conversions into other units, back to English or in some other direction. The purpose is to get familiar with the process of how we convert units – and to become familiar with the units of the metric system.
