Students convert between units of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years). They apply conversion factors and understand that time units do not follow a consistent base-10 pattern.

Time units do not grow by tens.
Minutes and seconds use 60, not one hundred.
1 gallon is 4 quarts, so 2 gallons are 8 quarts and 3 gallons are 12 quarts. The quarts row is the gallons row times 4: 6 gallons are 6 × 4 = 24 quarts.
A gallon holds more than a quart, so it takes 4 quarts to hold as much as 1 gallon.
Each gallon more adds 4 quarts more, so every column of the table is times 4.
Two steps work the same way: 1 gallon is 4 quarts and 1 quart is 4 cups, so 1 gallon is 4 × 4 = 16 cups.
To change to the smaller unit, multiply by the factor; to change to the bigger unit, divide by it.
Adding the factor instead of multiplying, and saying 2 gallons are 2 + 4 = 6 quarts.
Every gallon is 4 quarts, so 2 gallons are 2 × 4 = 8 quarts.
13 days = ___ hours — 312. Every day is 24 hours, so 13 of them is 13 times 24: 312.
A movie lasts three hours. How many minutes long is that?
Let's remember a key fact: one hour equals sixty minutes.
So three hours is three groups of sixty minutes each.
To find the total, we multiply three times sixty.
Three times six is eighteen, so three times sixty is one hundred eighty.
Three hours equals one hundred eighty minutes. Nice work!
