Imperial Measurements

An introduction to imperial measurements

• This resource gives a comprehensive overview of what imperial measurements are
• This is ideal to precede written work on converting between measures
• Includes printables for practical activities
• Children familarise themselves with concrete examples of imperial to metric conversions.

The practical activities could be run as one lesson as a brief carousel, a whole afternoon set of activities, or a series of lessons in a unit on measure, focusing each day on a different measure (Length, weight/mass, volume).

For the practical activity, teachers will need access to standard measuring equipment, however, this resource could be used for input alone - children would gain a secure understanding of what imperial means in relation to metric.
Slides can also be printed directly from the ppt (full page slides) as posters for your working wall - there is a useful one on how prefixes can help you identify one metric measure in relation to another - milli- centi- deci- etc.
