Theme 3: Introduction

Metric and imperial measurement



In this theme, you will learn about the metric and imperial systems of measurements that we use for length, mass, capacity, and temperature. You will practise making accurate measurements in both systems, and you will learn to convert within and between the systems using simple tables and tools. You will also solve problems using both systems in everyday contexts.
