Children should be quite comfortable when dealing with measures in Math. By now they should be well aware of the metric measures (mm, cm, m, km, g, kg, tons, ml, cl and l) and know some of the imperial measures (pint, gallon, mile etc.). They should also be able to convert smaller and larger units and combine the two (eg. 2.8 m = 280 cm = 2m 80cm). They will now be introduced to the imperial units of weight – ounces, pounds and tons, and how they relate to grams, kilograms and tons.
