Common misconception

Pupils may miscalculate measures questions involving unit conversions if they are not secure with the key conversions of 1 m = 1,000 mm, 1 km = 1,000 m, 1 kg = 1,000 g and 1 l = 1,000 ml.

Spend time discussing the etymology of the words so pupils are not necessarily relying on memory and can figure out the equivalences if they cannot recall them. 'Milli' means 'thousandth' and 'kilo' means 'thousand': both relate to a thousand parts.
