Numeracy Level 2 - Conversions eLearning Course

Course Overview

By the end of this lesson you will be able to recognise and calculate different units of imperial and metric measurement. Convert units of measurement between systems and estimate measurements by reading between marked divisions on scales.

Being able to recognise and calculate different units of imperial and metric measurements is essential today. Without measurement tools many modern things we take for granted like modern medicine would not be possible. This lesson utilises keywords like conversions, measurements, imperial, decimals and formula to show learners how to calculate within a system or between systems. Showcasing the use of data and information to carry out calculations to do with amounts or sizes, scales or proportion, handling statistics and using formulas. Using conversion tables and scales this lesson will give learners the confidence to convert units of measure between systems. Completing this lesson will provide learners with the knowledge to estimate, measure and compare length, weight, capacity and temperature using metric or imperial units.
