Max Maths, Year 5, Try it, Review of units of length, mass and volume (2)

In a practical exercise designed for Year 5 students, the task is to review and convert units of length, mass, and volume. This exercise is an essential part of reinforcing their understanding of the metric measurement system. Students are presented with a series of conversion problems where they must apply their knowledge to change one unit of measurement into another. For example, they are asked to convert kilograms to grams and millilitres to litres, which involves multiplying or dividing by factors of 10, 100, or 1000, depending on the units involved. This exercise serves to strengthen their numerical fluency and comprehension of measurement scales.

The activity provides a variety of conversion challenges, such as changing kilometres to metres and millimetres to centimetres, which requires students to be familiar with the relationship between different units of length. They are also tasked with converting litres to millilitres and grams to kilograms, testing their grasp of volume and mass conversions, respectively. Each conversion is a straightforward application of the metric system, where understanding the base units and their multiples is key. The exercise is designed to be completed with reference to the workbook pages provided, which support the students' learning journey through detailed explanations and additional practice problems.
