This lesson teaches children about converting between the metric kilometre and imperial mile. Children will apply this knowledge to problems where they will compare distances in kilometres and miles. There is a teaching presentation and three levels of worksheets (working towards, expected and greater depth) with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions.

National Curriculum Objectives:
Mathematics Year 6:
·       convert between different units of metric measure (for example, kilometre and metre; centimetre and metre; centimetre and millimetre; gram and kilogram; litre and millilitre)
·       understand and use approximate equivalences between metric units and common imperial units such as inches, pounds and pints
·       solve problems involving converting between units of time
·       use all four operations to solve problems involving measure [for example, length, mass, volume, money] using decimal notation, including scaling.

Differentiation:
There are three levels of differentiation in this pack: ‘working towards,’ ‘expected’ and ‘greater depth’.
