convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity; choose and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• recognising the significance of the prefixes in units of measurement
• identifying and using the correct operations when converting between units including millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, milligrams, grams, kilograms, tonnes, millilitres, litres, kilolitres and megalitres
• recognising the equivalence of measurements, such as \(1.25\) metres is the same as \(125\) centimetres
