A metric measure of distance used for small lengths.

The basic unit of length (or distance) in the metric system.

A metric measure of distance, equal to 1,000 metres.

A gram (g) is a measure of mass. 1,000 grams are equivalent to one kilogram (kg).

A millilitre (ml) is a measure of capacity. 1,000 millilitres are equivalent to one litre (l)

Use knowledge of 1,000 to explain common measure conversions

Maths

Partitioning 1,000 in the context of measures

Partitioning 1,000 and 2,000 in the context of measures

Use knowledge of measure conversions to interpret graphs and tables

Use efficient strategies and common measure conversions to solve problems in a range of contexts

 In this unit pupils will use knowledge of 1000 to explain common measure conversions and solve problems. In the future unit pupils will use their knowledge of decimal place value to convert between and compare metres and centimetres and explain that different lengths can be composed additively and multiplicatively.

In the prior unit pupils used weighing scales up to 1kg and measuring tools for volume and capacity up to 1 litre. They measured mass from 0 to above 1kg using whole kg and grams and measure volume from 0 to above 1 litre using whole litres and ml.  In this unit pupils will use knowledge of 1000 to explain common measure conversions and solve problems.

In this unit pupils will use knowledge of 1000 to explain common measure conversions and solve problems.

Calculation and conversion of measures

A millimetre (mm) is a metric measure of distance used for small lengths. The basic unit of length (or distance) in the metric system is metre (m)

A kilometre (km) is a metric measure of distance.

A kilogram is a measure of mass, equivalent to one thousand grams.

A litre is a measure of capacity, equivalent to one thousand millilitres.

Scale is the value of the divisions marked on measuring equipment or the axes of a graph.

A graph drawn using rectangular bars to show how large each value is. The bars can be horizontal or vertical.

What is in between two values or points. On a bar graph these may be marked using numbers or unmarked.

To change a value from one form to another, such as converting 1 m into 1,000 mm
