Solving problems with measurement conversions
Choose and sequence unit conversion and calculation in multi-step real-world measurement problems using decimals. Decide when quantities need a common unit, carry out the operations and interpret and check the result; the conversion procedure itself is covered in Converting measurement units.
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Solving problems with measurement conversions means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Place-value grid (ones / tenths)
- Pencil
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Three tenths on the grid is 0.3.
Optional challenge. For Solving problems with measurement conversions, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Solving problems with measurement conversions, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Solve: 'A recipe uses 0.75 kg of flour. How many grams are needed for 3 batches?'
- Compare 2.5 litres and 2,450 ml by converting to the same unit
- Solve a multi-step problem involving time, distance, and unit conversion
“A recipe needs 0.75 kg of flour for one batch. Can your child work out how many grams are needed for three batches, show when they converted and multiplied, and explain how they checked the final amount?”
