Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book, Review of units of length, mass and volume (2)

The 'Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book' provides a comprehensive review of units of length, mass, and volume, focusing on conversions into decimal form. Practice 2 is a series of exercises that challenge students to convert various measurements. The first task requires students to convert centimetres to metres by dividing the given centimetre values by 100, thus reinforcing their understanding of the metric system. Similarly, they are asked to convert metres to kilometres by dividing by 1,000, which helps them grasp the scale of larger distances. The practice also includes converting grams to kilograms and millilitres to litres, again dividing by 1,000, to familiarize students with the concept of mass and volume in larger units.

Further exercises in the workbook guide students through the process of converting centimetres to millimetres by multiplying by 10, and metres to a combination of metres and centimetres by multiplying by 100. These tasks help to cement their understanding of the relationship between different units of measurement within the metric system. Additionally, the workbook provides problems that require students to complete conversions by multiplying given values, such as converting kilometres to metres, kilograms to grams, and millilitres to litres, by 1,000. These exercises not only improve their numerical skills but also enhance their practical understanding of everyday measurements, such as the volume of a glass of milk in litres, the length of a book in metres, or the weight of an apple in kilograms.
