Students are given measures such as width of a room is 650 cm convert to m. Diagrams with a mix of units to work out perimeters (how far around). The idea of a best unit.

Examples of problems using measurement especially if the problems use units from different domains. Like how much money would be a 2 metres long line of $2 coins, how many carpet times, 30 cm by 30 cm would be needed to carpet this room, how far can you run in 10 seconds, how far in km/hr.
