Year 5 Imperial Units
This Year 5 Imperial Units lesson covers the prior learning of comparing lengths, comparing mass and comparing capacities before moving onto the main skill of converting metric and imperial units.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
