Convert between ‘adjacent’ metric units of measure for length, capacity and mass [M5]

The exercise provided is designed to help Key Stage 2 students understand and practice converting between adjacent metric units of measure for length, capacity, and mass. The task involves a range of activities where students are required to convert measurements such as centimetres to metres, grams to kilograms, and litres to millilitres. The exercises include various mathematical problems that encourage students to apply their knowledge of conversion factors in practical scenarios. The problems are structured to cater to different levels of ability, ensuring that all students can engage with the material at a level that is appropriate for them.

The resource includes a variety of questions, some of which involve straightforward conversions, while others challenge students to use their understanding of the metric system to solve more complex problems. These problems may require the students to convert measurements within a given context or to use their reasoning skills to deduce the correct method of conversion. The activities are designed to reinforce the relationship between different units of measurement and to provide a solid foundation for understanding the metric system. This is a critical skill in mathematics that has practical applications in everyday life.
