(click here to play) This activity is the last and most advanced of four levels which practise measuring the weight, length and volume of different ingredients in a magic potion. This level also focuses on how measurements correspond - e.g. If a ruler is marked in m can you measure something in cm.
Learning objectives/outcomes: England: NNS Y5 & Y6:
Measures 91: Use, read and write standard metric units (km, m, cm, mm, kg, g, l, ml), including their abbreviations and relationships between them. Comvert larger to smaller units (e.g km to m, m to cm, kg to g, l to ml); Suggest suitable units and measuring equipment to estimate or measure length, mass or capacity.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4a: recognise the need for standard units of length, mass and capacity, choose which ones are suitable for a task, and use them to make sensible estimates in everyday situations; convert one metric unit to another.
Additional information: Megahops: A maximum of five megahops is awarded if all measurements are correctly marked on the first attempt. Pupils have three attempts and a sliding scale of megahops is awarded if mistakes are made. Related activity information:
