Converting units (feet to inches, meters to centimeters) is just multiplying or dividing by the right number. Knowing your facts and how to multiply by 10 and 100 makes conversions fast.
These are words you'll need to already know to follow this lesson — not the new words the lesson teaches. Review each one, its meaning, and the example so the new lesson makes sense from the start.
Level 1 To add the same number many times to find a total.
Example: 3 × 12 = 36.
