Measuring with different units
Mathematics · Measurement · conceptual
Measure the length of an object using two different length units and describe how the measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen
What mastery looks like
- Measure a desk in both centimetres and inches and compare the two numbers
- Explain that measuring with a smaller unit gives a larger number
- Predict whether a measurement in centimetres will be greater or less than in inches
Check your understanding
If Measuring with different units measures the same book in centimetres and then in inches, can they explain why the numbers are different even though the book hasn't changed size?
