📏 Part 1: Multiple Choice — WALT: convert between common metric units

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers & Problem Solving — WALT: apply metric conversions to real problems

Teacher Notes — WALT: organise support and extension

Differentiation strategies (for diverse learners):

- Provide a conversion reference sheet (e.g. 1 km = 1,000 m; 1 m = 100 cm; 1 kg = 1,000 g).

- Use concrete materials (measuring tapes, kitchen scales) and visual examples for students who need hands‑on learning.

- Break problems into steps and offer sentence starters for written explanations.

Extension activities (for advanced learners):

- Convert compound units (e.g. 3.45 km into metres and centimetres).

- Create and solve a word problem involving totals (e.g. combine masses or lengths) and explain reasoning.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options:

- Use coloured overlays or background shading at the student's request and present one question per page if needed.

- Read questions aloud and provide typed audio or recorded instructions; use larger, sans‑serif fonts and left-aligned text.
