| Choose and use units of measurement to measure, estimate, calculate and solve problems in everyday contexts; convert one metric unit to another, e.g. grams to kilograms; read and interpret scales on a range of measuring instruments. |
Choose and use units of measurement to measure, estimate, calculate and solve problems in a range of contexts; know rough metric equivalents of imperial measures in common use, such as miles, pounds (lb) and pints.

Solve problems involving measurements in a variety of contexts; convert between area measures (e.g. mm2 to cm2, cm2 to m2, and vice versa) and between volume measures (e.g. mm3 to cm3, cm3 to m3, and vice versa). |
Understand and use measures of speed (and other compound measures such as density or pressure); solve problems involving constant or average rates of change.

Apply knowledge that measurements given to the nearest whole unit may be inaccurate by up to one half of the unit in either direction and use this to understand how errors can be compounded in calculations. |
Recognise limitations in the accuracy of measurements and judge the proportional effect on solutions. |
| Distinguish between and estimate the size of acute, obtuse and reflex angles.
