Measurement
In Year 6, children convert between metric units with more confidence, including answers that run to three decimal places, and they use the rough link between miles and kilometres to swap between the two.
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 also work out the perimeter and area of composite shapes, find the area of triangles and parallelograms, use the formula to find the volume of a cuboid, compare the volumes of different boxes, and tackle problems that mix money and measures together.
Every value is worked out exactly, so the practice is reliable, and a gentle hint appears whenever an answer needs a nudge. It is free, with no account to set up, and runs in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
