Converting units of volume Target Board

KS2Gems2022 presents a dynamic and interactive resource for Year 5 students to master their understanding of volume conversion through the use of Target Boards. These boards are a versatile tool designed to reinforce various mathematical skills in concise sessions, making them ideal for initiating or wrapping up a lesson with a focus on retrieval practice. The boards can be employed for whole-class learning or in smaller group settings. By displaying a Target Board, students are encouraged to engage with the numbers presented and perform tasks such as converting volumes into different units or identifying measurements within a specific range.

The Target Board activity offers a fun and challenging way for children to practice converting measurements of volume. For instance, a teacher might instruct students to convert the volumes listed on the top row of the board into litres or to find all the measurements that fall between 1 and 2.5 litres. This method allows for simultaneous differentiation, as each group of students can be assigned tasks at varying levels of difficulty. The boards feature a range of volumes in millilitres (ml) and litres (l), providing ample opportunity for students to apply their knowledge of volume conversion in a practical and engaging manner.
