Measurement
In Year 5, children convert between metric units, including answers with decimals, and learn the approximate links between metric and imperial units.
Practise Measurement
Have a guess, even if you're not sure. Get one wrong and we'll show you why, so every miss is a chance to learn.
Timed practice
The same practice, just with a gentle clock. Pick a length and see how many you can answer.
They calculate the perimeter of composite shapes and the area of rectangles, estimate the area of irregular shapes and the volume of cuboids, and solve money, measure and time problems.
Many questions are drawn for the child to read, with a hint whenever an answer needs a nudge. Free, and works on any device.
