Three missions of measurement practice for Year 5 maths. Pupils convert units in the potion room, turning 1.5 litres into millilitres and 4500 grams into kilograms, find the perimeter and area of a garden blueprint, then convert times, like writing 2 hours 15 minutes in minutes. Each mission has its answers included. It touches several England National Curriculum measurement objectives, from metric conversion to area.
Measurement
“Convert between different units of metric measure”
Mission 1 converts length, mass and capacity in one table.
Measurement
“Measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes”
The garden blueprint is a composite shape needing both perimeter and area.
Measurement
“Solve problems involving converting between units of time”
Mission 3 handles hours, minutes and seconds.
A unit conversion table covering millilitres, kilograms and metres.
Pupils calculate a 36 m perimeter and a 62 m² area from a plan.
Time conversions, including 180 seconds into minutes.
Answers for all three missions.
Unit round-up
The three missions revisit conversion, perimeter, area and time in one sitting.
Homework
The mission framing keeps it appealing as an independent task.
Assessment check
Marking by mission shows which strand of measurement needs another lesson.
