Lesson details
Key learning points
- Sometimes speed is measured in different units.
- The units for speed can be converted to alternative units.
- When converting, it can be helpful to think about a context.
Common misconception
E.g 4.5 hours is 4 hours and 50 minutes
Encouraging pupils to use ratio tables to represent proportional relationships using minutes allows them to appreciate the multiplier of 60 when converting hours to minutes, or minutes to seconds.
