📏 Part 1: Length Conversions - Answers

Answer: 2.5 metres

Working: 2500mm ÷ 1000 = 2.5m (divide by 1000 to convert mm to m)

Answer: 3500 metres

Working: 3.5km × 1000 = 3500m (multiply by 1000 to convert km to m)

Answer: 4.5 metres

Working: 450cm ÷ 100 = 4.5m (divide by 100 to convert cm to m)

Answer: 1.5m is longer

Working: 1200mm = 1.2m, so 1.5m > 1.2m

🥤 Part 2: Volume Conversions - Answers

Answer: 2.5 litres

Working: 2500mL ÷ 1000 = 2.5L (divide by 1000 to convert mL to L)

Answer: 3000 litres

Working: 3kL × 1000 = 3000L (multiply by 1000 to convert kL to L)

Answer: 0.75 litres

Working: 750mL ÷ 1000 = 0.75L

Answer: 2L holds more

Working: 1500mL = 1.5L, so 2L > 1.5L

⏰ Part 3: Time Reading - Answers

Answer: Quarter past three OR 3:15

Note: Both analogue and digital formats are acceptable

Answer: Quarter to eight OR 7:45

Note: Emphasise that quarter to eight means 15 minutes before 8 o'clock

Answer: Hour hand halfway between 2 and 3, minute hand pointing to 6

Teaching tip: Hour hand moves gradually, not in jumps

Answer: 9:15

Quarter past = 15 minutes after the hour

⚖️ Part 4: Mass Conversions - Answers

Answer: 2.5 kilograms

Working: 2500g ÷ 1000 = 2.5kg (divide by 1000 to convert g to kg)

Answer: 1500 kilograms

Working: 1.5t × 1000 = 1500kg (multiply by 1000 to convert tonnes to kg)

Answer: 0.75 kilograms

Working: 750g ÷ 1000 = 0.75kg

Answer: 1.5kg is heavier

Working: 1200g = 1.2kg, so 1.5kg > 1.2kg

🎯 Teaching Notes & Differentiation Strategies

• Convert between different units of length, volume, and mass
