Are you learning the metric system?  If so think of the prefixes and the size of the things they measure.

A meter is about 3 yards long.
A centimeter is about half an inch long.
A millimeter is about the thickness of a stick of gum.
A kilometer is about 6 city blocks long

Think about the size of the objects listed and identify which unit of measure is best to use.
