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

In the Max Maths Year 5 Workbook, students are given a comprehensive review of units of length, mass, and volume, with a focus on converting these measurements into decimal form. The practice section begins with exercises that require students to convert various lengths into metres by dividing centimetres by 100, such as 42 cm and 1 065 cm. This is followed by tasks that involve converting metres into kilometres by dividing by 1,000, where students work with lengths like 76 m and 2,375 m. The workbook then shifts to mass conversion, asking pupils to turn grams into kilograms by also dividing by 1,000, for example, converting 99 g and 6,110 g.

Volume conversions are next, with students changing millilitres to litres, again using division by 1,000, handling amounts like 65 ml and 8,342 ml. The workbook then presents exercises in reverse, where students multiply to convert lengths into millimetres, such as 58 cm and 10.2 m. Conversions from metres to centimetres are also tackled, with numbers like 0.2 m and 100.3 m being multiplied by 100. To deepen their understanding, students complete conversions that involve both parts of a unit, such as 1.4 km to metres and centimetres or 6.3 kg to kilograms and grams. The workbook includes practical examples, like converting the volume of milk in a glass to litres or the length of a road in kilometres to metres, ensuring that students apply their knowledge to real-world contexts.
