Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure
This week will follow a similar format to last week: 3 lessons and then 2 days to
complete a project and publish it on Purple Mash.

Lesson 6 Metric and Imperial Equivalences
![Page 3: Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure - primarysite-prod-sorted ...€¦ · Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure This week will follow a similar format to last week: 3 lessons and then 2 days](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070906/5f7678d549c59b465a3b7358/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Normally in school we focus on metric measures. These are measures that can be converted by
multiplying and dividing by 10. Examples include milimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres, for
length; mililitres and litres, for capacity; and grams and kilograms, for mass.
Imperial Measures (non-metric) include inches, feet,
yards and miles, for length; pints and gallons, for capacity; and ounces, pounds and stones, for mass.
![Page 4: Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure - primarysite-prod-sorted ...€¦ · Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure This week will follow a similar format to last week: 3 lessons and then 2 days](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070906/5f7678d549c59b465a3b7358/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Confusingly, in the UK, we often jump between metric and imperial measures.
For examples, we often measure small lengths in cm
and metres but then distances are measured in miles. Have you noticed that all road instructions (directions and speed) here are linked to miles but in Europe they
use kilometre?
Some recipes use grams; others use ounces.
Some people weigh themselves (which is actually finding their mass) in kilograms; others find it in stones
and pounds.

This lesson we are going to look at the difference between some of these measures.
There will be no main activity worksheet for this
lesson.
Just read through the slides and make notes in your home learning book as you go.
![Page 6: Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure - primarysite-prod-sorted ...€¦ · Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure This week will follow a similar format to last week: 3 lessons and then 2 days](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070906/5f7678d549c59b465a3b7358/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Litres and Pints – Measures of liquid capacity
1 pint = 0.57 litres
To get from 1 pint to 2 pints, you multiply by 2; therefore you need to do the same to the litres. 0.57 x 2 = 1.14
So therefore, 3 pints must be the same as 1.71 litres (1 pint x
3 = 3 pints; 3.57 litres x 3 = 1.71 litres)
Therefore, 2 pints = 1.14 litres
How did I work that out?
![Page 7: Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure - primarysite-prod-sorted ...€¦ · Maths Summer 2 Units of Measure This week will follow a similar format to last week: 3 lessons and then 2 days](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070906/5f7678d549c59b465a3b7358/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Litres and Pints – Measures of liquid capacity
1 litre = 1.75 pints
To get from 1 litre to 4 litres, you multiply by 4; therefore you need to do the same to the pints. 1.75 x 4 = 7.
Therefore, 4 litres = 7 pints
How did I work that out?

5 miles = 8km
Kilometres and Miles
In the UK distances are measured in miles, but in Europe they are measured
in kilometres.
Hint 1: Work out how to get from 5 miles to 85
miles by multiplying first.
Hint 2: Divide 1420km by 8km first.

Why Do We Need Conversion Graphs?
Conversion graphs are a quick and easy way to change from one unit of
measurement to another without having to do any calculations. All you
have to do is read from the line on the graph.

Why Do We Need Conversion Graphs?
We often need to convert between measurements because, in the UK, we regularly
use a mix of imperial and metric measurements such as pints, centimetres,
miles, kilometres, stones and grams. Also, the rest of the world uses a range of measurements, so we need to be able to convert between these.

Reading from a conversion graph is simple if you look carefully. Identify which axis is
which. If you are converting from miles to kilometres, go along the x-axis to the
amount to be converted, then go up to the conversion line. Go across to the y-axis
and read where it comes to.

Lesson 8 – When to use different units of measure
As we have found out so far this week, the are lots of different units of measure.
Today we are going to look more about when different ones are used and compare their sizes.
Please work through the slides and answer the questions in your book. At the end, there is a quick activity on Purple Mash for you to complete either today or tomorrow.

Convince me.
Various answers, for example: as shown above.
All the heights are similar and in a class of children, there wouldn’t
be too much difference in their heights.
Peter 1.1 m

Various answers, for example:
I agree with Sam because metres greater unit of measure than cm.
In context, 117.5 cm is about the length of a table.
I think it will be around 117 m.

Please try the quick activity on Purple Mash.
It is called ‘Units of Measure’ and should be set as a 2do.

Lessons 9 and 10 – The Project
This week your challenge is to estimate and then research the length, mass and capacity of different things.
I have placed on the website a sheet of different measures. You need to estimate which ones are correct and explain to me how you came to your decision. You can either add to the original document and then save that on to Purple Mash or create a new document. If you are able to, try discussing them with someone else in your family before writing anything.
Continued on next slide.

Lessons 9 and 10
If you are able to, please then research some of them to find out the correct answer (make sure you do this after your estimation). You could add your findings to your write-up as well.
An extra challenge could be to create your own similar questions/statements for others to estimate. I will make a post on the blog for you to add them to. Please make sure you know the answer so that you can tell others if they are right or not.

Lessons 9 and 10
Here are some examples of statements from the sheet and how I might answer them.
The average height of a robin is 13cm/23cm/33cm.
I think the average height of a robin is 13cm. The reason I think this is because the other measurements seem too big. 33cm is bigger than a school ruler and a robin is definitely not that tall. I also think a robin is smaller than my hand which would make it closer to 13cm than 23cm.

Lessons 9 and 10
Here are some examples of statements from the sheet and how I might answer them. The distance from Woodley precinct to Willow Bank Junior School is 0.1 miles/1 mile/10 miles. I think the distance is 1 mile. The reason I think this is because I can walk that journey in about 20 minutes and people walk around 3 miles per hour. Therefore it would take 1/3 of an hour to walk 1 mile. 1/3 of a mile is 20 minutes. I also think that 10 miles would cover more than Woodley. Also, if 5 miles = 8km, then 1 mile = 1.6 km and 0.1miles = 0.16km. 0.16km is the same as 100m and I think it is more than 100m between school and the precinct.
