Lesson Four – Changing Lengths
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and record how to measure different lengths of objects found around the school and convert each measurement between units for metres, centimetres and millimetres.
The class can identify and explain the number calculations that they can use when converting some of the different lengths that they have measured around the school.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate and record how to measure different lengths of objects found around the school and convert each measurement between units for metres, centimetres and millimetres
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to identify and record how to measure the lengths of different objects that can be found around the school that can be converted between units of measurement for metres, centimetres and millimetres.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to measure different lengths around the school and convert between metres, centimetres and millimetres.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to solve a selection of contextual problems by comparing and converting between different units of measurement for mass, length and capacity. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
