Car Lengths

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise measuring and recording the lengths of a range of different parts of a car using measurements that have been recorded in matching centimetres and millimetres.
The class can explain and model how to covert different measurements between units of measurement for length to match each part of a car.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise measuring and recording the lengths of a range of different parts of a car using measurements that have been recorded in matching centimetres and millimetres
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to measure and record the lengths of a range of different parts of a car to the nearest whole centimetre for support ability levels, to measurements in centimetres and millimetres for core ability levels and to millimetres for extension ability levels.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to measure and record the lengths of a range of different parts of a car using centimetres and millimetres.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise estimating, measuring and converting the lengths of different objects working with measurements in millimetres, centimetres and metres. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
