Instructions
Use these resources to teach your class about converting from miles to kilometres.
Print, cut out and laminate the conversion matching cards. You can attach these to lolly sticks if you like. Keep the miles cards and hide the kilometre cards around the class or yard.
Give the children a little Porsche each with reminders about converting miles and kilometres, and they can stick it in their book.
Then show the children the ‘Converting miles to kilometres’ Powerpoint and help them to convert the measures.
After this, give the children the 5 quick check questions which they answer on the sheet and stick in their book.
If they understand how to convert, then give them the miles to km table to stick in their book, or have on a clip board. Also, give the group the miles cards. They must look at the miles and convert it to km, then run and find the card which matches their answer. They continue with this until they have all of the cards matched up. Then they check with the teacher and mark their answers.
I hope that your class have fun with this activity—my class really enjoy active Maths sessions.

This Powerpoint is an introduction to converting between miles and kilometres. I use this with the miles to km intro and converting units of measurement miles to km game. I have put these into a bundle.
This resource has a set of cars with conversions between miles and kilometres that you can print out and can be stuck in books as reminders. There is also a quick check set of 5 questions with answers. This resource works well with converting units of measurements miles to kilometres game and the converting miles to km PPT. I have put these into a bundle and used them as a whole lesson.
This resource has instructions and a measures poster which explains how to convert from miles to kilometres. There is a set of cards where the children have to match up the correct miles to kilometres - this is a good ACTIVE MATHS opportunity. I have added a table with the miles in which the children have to complete by working out the right number of kilometres. They can then go and find the right km card. I have also included an answer grid. I use this together with the Converting miles to km Powerpoint and the Miles to km intro. I have put these resources into a bundle.
This bundle comprises:
- A checklist of Michael Morpurgo titles for Year 6
- 8 quizzes with answers
- A book review sheet
- A certificate
These badges are intended to widen the genres of books that children read. For the genre, the children read 3 titles from the list. They then complete the quiz and a book review for each title that they have read. After this, they work on a creative piece for each book, such as: a picture of their favourite character; a new cover or a story map. When all of the tasks are complete, the children receive their certificate. These can be printed and laminated.
