Lesson reflections / next steps / teacher notes
Assessment opportunities
Teachers can use the initial input to assess pupils9 understanding of the measurements to be
covered - particularly how well they already understand the value of each unit and how they
compare to one another.
Teachers can carry out formative assessments throughout the paired practice conversions and
the independent conversion work during the lesson.
Children can reflect on their answers to the worksheets through peer work, then self-mark in the
final plenary.
Suggestions for future learning
Children could practise 8scaling9 animals, particularly large ones, by working out the ratio required to
fit an illustration of larger animals in their books.
Home learning opportunities
Children could research world record weights for the lightest and heaviest animals, then work out
the conversions between grams and kilograms.
