Metric Conversion Lab

Free Year 5 Maths practice — convert supplied common metric length, mass and capacity quantities and solve bounded problems. No account needed.

About Metric Conversion Lab

Convert supplied common metric length, mass and capacity quantities and solve bounded problems. The default practice mode is untimed, so the learner can think before choosing. Correct answers build a gentle celebration; mistakes receive corrective feedback and return later rather than causing a penalty spiral.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Convert between common metric units using factors of 10, 100 and 1,000.

Curriculum anchor: England Year 5 mathematics: convert between different units of metric measure.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Write the unit relationship first and convert every quantity to one unit before calculating. Stop while attention is still good. A short accurate return tomorrow is more useful than extending a tired session today.

Frequently asked questions

Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.

Is it timed? Practice is untimed. Where a sprint exists it is optional. Times Tables Sprint also includes MTC-style independent practice, not an expected-standard judgement.

Can it be used on a phone? Yes. Buttons support touch and keyboard use; sorting always has a tap alternative to dragging.
