Why this why now
This unit builds on knowledge of equivalence between units of measure and applies this to solve problems in the contexts of measures, time and money. Pupils look at metric and imperial equivalence and use a line graph to convert between pounds and Euro. They also apply their knowledge and understanding of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000 which will prepare them for handling numbers with up to 8 digits in the future.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Know common metric conversions
- Multiply and divide by powers of 10
- Apply conversion in context
