Converting units of volume Target Board

KS2Gems2022 presents a dynamic and interactive tool for Year 6 students to practice their mathematical skills, specifically in converting units of volume. Target Board 3 focuses on the objective of converting measurements of volume and expressing them with decimal notation up to three decimal places. This educational activity is designed to help students become fluent in handling volume conversions, an essential part of their Measures curriculum. The target boards can be integrated seamlessly into lessons, serving as an engaging warm-up or a summarizing activity, and are suitable for both whole-class instruction and small group work.

The method of using Target Boards is straightforward yet effective: a board with various volume measurements is displayed, and students are tasked with converting these measurements, such as millilitres to litres, using the numbers provided. To cater to different ability levels, teachers can set unique challenges for each group, such as converting only the top row into litres or identifying all measurements that fall within a specified range. This not only reinforces mathematical concepts but also encourages quick thinking and problem-solving. The boards are filled with a variety of volume measurements, ranging from smaller units like millilitres to larger ones like litres, offering ample opportunity for practice and mastery of conversion skills.
