Level 3-4 Shapes - Imperial and Metric

Hey there, Maths whizz! Get ready to tackle imperial and metric units in KS3 Maths. Ever wondered about calculating shapes' areas in centimetres and then switching to inches? This quiz has got your back, making it a breeze!

Metric units are super neat, all based on powers of ten like metres, kilograms, and litres. Decimalisation makes it easy peasy. But there is another system you need to know...

A Parent's Secret Weapon for Smart Kids

The old-school imperial gang just refuses to go away! Miles, inches, yards, pounds, pints and other imperial measures are a bit random but still hanging around. You've probably bumped into pounds, ounces, miles, or Fahrenheit. Knowing rough metric equivalents for imperial units is like having a secret code - check these out:

  • 1kg = 2.2lb
  • 1 litre = 1.75 pints
  • 1 gallon = 4.5 litres
  • 5 miles = 8km
  • 1 inch = 2.54cm
  • 1 foot = 30cm
  • 12 inches in a foot
  • 16 ounces in a pound (lb)
  • 14lb in a stone

Now, it's practice time! Take this quiz, and you'll be a master of units in no time. Good luck!
