This one I actually have took a video of, but its a simple idea. My 6th grade class was acting out a number line that we use to convert units in the metric system. I started by giving them examples and we had students act as the different marks of the number line and a student who acted as the decimal point of a number, who would count the number of jumps and identify the direction. Eventually, I started cold calling kids to give a starting measurement, another student to choose the unit of measure that we would convert into, and another student who would be the decimal point. I'll have to share the video at our next meeting!
