Mental Activity We are going metric measures. You will have 5 seconds to answer each question
Main Activity Today we are going to use metric and imperial units for measuring capacity.
These lines are measured in cm. What do they measure in mm? 1.2cm 12mm 4.4cm 44mm 13.6cm 136mm 9.7cm 97mm
These things are measured in metres. What is the height in centimetres? 10.8m 1080cm 3.42m 1.86m 342cm 186cm
1 inch = 2.5 centimetres 1 foot = 30 centimetres 3.3 feet = 1 metre 1 yard = 90 centimetres 1760 yards = 1 mile 1 mile = 1600 metres (1.6km) Here are the equivalents. They are approximate.
1 inch = 2.5 centimetres 1 foot = 30 centimetres 3.3 feet = 1 metre 1 yard = 90 centimetres 1760 yards = 1 mile 1 mile = 1600 metres (1.6km) How many millimetres are there in 4 inches?
1 inch = 2.5 centimetres 1 foot = 30 centimetres 3.3 feet = 1 metre 1 yard = 90 centimetres 1760 yards = 1 mile 1 mile = 1600 metres (1.6km) How many centimetres are there in 2 feet?

1 litre = 1.75 pints 4.5 litres = 1 gallon 25 millilitres = 1 tablespoon Approx 5 litres = 8 pints = 1 gallon Remember a litre and a quarter is about a pint and three quaters
1 litre = 1.75 pints 4.5 litres = 1 gallon 25 millilitres = 1 tablespoon How many litres in 3 gallons
1 litre = 1.75 pints 4.5 litres = 1 gallon 25 millilitres = 1 tablespoon What might the conversion graph look like?
Group Work Work in pairs to draw a conversion graph for 1 gallon = 4.5 litres. Write six questions for your graph. Swap with another pair and find the answers to their questions.
