Workbook: 5B
Chapter: 13 Volume
Lesson: 5 and 6 Converting Units of Volume
Good morning, Year 5!
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
Today you will continue with finding the capacity of rectangular boxes for worksheet 5 before moving on to Converting Units of Volume. Instructions on how to continue to find the capacity of rectangular boxes for worksheet 5 can be found here: Year 5 Maths Blog
Converting Units of Volume
Please click this image to enlarge:
In order to compare these amounts of liquid we must first make them all the same unit. As you can see one drink is labelled in litres with decimals, one is labelled with mixed numbers and the last is labelled in millilitres. Can we convert them all to litres with decimals?
So we can work it out like this:
We can also write each of the amounts as fractions. What would 1020 ml of apple juice look like written as a fraction? If 1000 ml is a litre, what fraction of a litre is 20 ml? It is 20 thousandths. This can be simplified so that we can write the orange juice in litres. Think about what the 0.2 stands fro and how we can write 2 tenths as a fraction.

CHALLENGE:
Could you create another everyday problem using volume and a mixture of different measures for others to solve? You can write the problem in the comments and someone can have a go. Then you can let us know if they got it right! What other liquids could you compare?
Marking your answers
As you and your parents now have access to Maths No Problem, I will continue to set daily worksheets for you to complete at home. They may be worksheets that you may have already attempted in class but that’s okay! It’s important that you revise and practise your skills. More information about how to log in to Maths No Problem can be found here.
You do not need to print these worksheets out – you can simply using your yellow books to show your working out and write your answers. You or your parents can then mark it as you now have access to the answers.
Therefore you will not be required to write your answer in the blog comments section as before. Please do comment if you need help or have any questions about the task. Also, please read each other’s comments and help each other out if you can! It is important we stay in touch and talk to each other about maths using mathematical language just like we did in the classroom
Good luck!

Hello all, I hope that you all enjoyed your weekends. I am doing the maths no problem worksheets and am finding them quite easy. I wish everyone well, bye!
Morning Elsa – Hello Yr 5!
Good luck with your maths tasks today – keep up the fantastic work!
I am doing the Maths No Problem ? now. For me, some of it is a bit tricky so I will keep practicing this even more.
If anyone knows similar worksheets like these please tell me because I want to get even better.
~ Nika ? ?
Hey Nika, check out the volume challenges from last week’s blogs as well as the links I have shared. It is really tricky to find worksheets on this volume topic- I have tried! Most of them seem to be for secondary schools *sigh*
I hope the challenge is useful 🙂
Well done Nika!
I love your commitment and enthusiasm towards learning! ?
Hello Mrs Avdiu, my mum picked up my MNP workbook from school so should I do the worksheets in there or in my home learning task book.
That’s perfect! You can do them in the MNP book but if there is a task you have already done in your book then use your home learning book to write answers. We may revisit work we have already done.
Ok, even though we haven’t already done today’s worksheets I did it in my home learning task book.
Thank you for telling me though.
No problem, whatever you prefer 🙂
Hi Everyone I am doing the MNP
The second page of Worksheet 5 I do not understand can someone please explain
Thank you ?
Let me have a look…
Hi Elena, have you tried working out the capacity first and then consider how much space the solid occupies? I wonder if one of your classmates can explain how they worked it out? 🙂
Hey everyone!
I did these worksheets and found it a little bit trickier at the end!
My sister marked it and explained it to me if I got a question wrong!
I hope you all have an AMAZING day!!!! 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 😀 😀 😀
Thank you Mrs Avdiu! I will do the maths challenges!
~ Nika ???

Good afternoon everyone!
I have just finished doing todays maths no problem.
I found worksheet five page 1 easy but then I found the next page was much trickier.

Which part did you find tricky Tommaso? Did you manage to solve it?
Morning Yr 5!
I’m glad maths has become a little more challenging, as last week lots of you were saying – “it was easy” – keep up the fantastic work!

Hi everyone!
I hope you are all well. Today I did the maths; I found it fairly easy however I found the last two questions a bit harder than the other questions.
Hi Regan, did you manage to solve the last two?
Yes Mrs Avdiu.
