Learning goals

  • We are learning to convert between common units of measurement for length, mass and capacity and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem, e.g. 1.25m = 125cm.
  • We are learning to connect volume and capacity and their units of measurement, e.g. 1ml = 1cm3
