Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Converting between units of measurement (2)

The Max Maths workbook for Year 6 includes a section dedicated to converting between units of measurement, with a particular focus on lengths, masses, and volumes represented in decimal form. Practice exercises guide students through the process of converting various units, such as centimetres to metres, where they multiply by 100 to obtain the result in metres. For example, 56 cm converted to metres would involve multiplying by 100. Similar exercises require students to convert metres to kilometres, grams to kilograms, and millilitres to litres by multiplying with appropriate factors such as 1,000.

Further exercises extend the students' understanding of unit conversions. They learn to convert centimetres to millimetres by multiplying by 10, and converting lengths from metres to a combination of metres and centimetres by multiplying by 100. The workbook also includes tasks where students fill in the blanks to complete conversions, such as converting kilometres to metres and grams to kilograms, by multiplying with the correct conversion factors. These exercises are designed to solidify their grasp of metric units and prepare them for practical applications of measurement in daily life.
