This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record the lengths of different objects that can be found around the classroom to match and convert measurements recorded in centimetres into metres.

The class can explain and model some of the number skills that they can use when converting between different units of measurement for length including centimetres to metres.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and record the lengths of different objects that can be found around the classroom to match and convert measurements recorded in centimetres into metres

Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of cards to measure and record the lengths of different objects around the classroom to match measurements in centimetres for support ability levels and convert between centimetres and metres for core and extension ability levels.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to record the lengths of different objects around the classroom to match and convert measurements in centimetres into metres.

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.
