All extension/finding it tricky/looking for a challenge worksheets are listed below in Maths Resources.  

 

Monday – metric units

You may want to use the place value chart provided to support you when converting between units of measure.  Remember what happens to place value when multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000? How many place value spaces do you move up or down each time?

To get to grips with converting listen to this ‘groovy’ math song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djTNUp4XIRo

Optional additional task: Test your converting skills for: capacity, mass and length!

Finding it tricky?  Practise your conversions with this simple pelmanism game: https://www.transum.org/software/SW/Starter_of_the_day/Students/Pairs.asp?Topic=18

Wanting an extra challenge?: Complete all three challenges to show off your conversion skills!

 

Tuesday – imperial units

If you are feeling a bit uncertain about imperial measures explore the BBC bitesize page first: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z4nsgk7/articles/zwbndxs

Optional additional task: Test your converting skills for: capacity, mass and length but this time for imperial measures. 

Finding it tricky? 

Measure using both inches and centimetres to compare the measurements.

Wanting an extra challenge?  Test yourself with this mixed bag of problems to see if you have mastered the skills to convert imperial measures
