| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Converting Litres to Millilitres
Year 5
Mathematics
20 students
This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on measurement and units.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Introduce the topic of measurement, specifically litres and millilitres. Explain the conversion factor (1 litre = 1000 millilitres). |
| 2 | Demonstration | 5 | Show the conversion using a visual aid. Measure 1 litre in the jug and show it equals 1000 ml. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 | Distribute worksheets with conversion problems. Discuss answers as a class after completing a few problems together. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Allow students to work on additional problems independently while circulating to offer support. |
| 5 | Review and Reflect | 5 | Go through the answers as a class, correcting any misunderstandings without having students present their homework. |
| 6 | Closing Remarks | 2 | Summarize what was learned today, reiterating the conversion formula. Assign homework based on the lesson. |
Students will complete a worksheet with various problems converting litres to millilitres and vice versa. The completed worksheets will be collected for marking without student presentations during the next lesson.
Observation during guided and independent practice, as well as the accuracy of completed homework sheets, will help assess student understanding of the topic.
Encourage student interaction and ensure a supportive atmosphere for problem-solving. Prepare for students who may need additional help by offering one-on-one assistance during independent practice.
