One side of A4 with a question where students match a measurement of an object (weight of new born baby, height of typical door) with the corresponding value (3Kg, 2 metres). Then the students have to find objects in the room that are various sizes. Finally some questions involving simple conversion. Designed to take 10 to 15 minutes.

I used the OpenOffice ‘note’ tool to add the answers to the quiz questions. Notes are annotations on the text that appear linked to a word or phrase on the right hand side of the document. You can make them invisible for printing a clean copy. The notes survived export to Word Doc format as well. In Word, you select View | Mark Up to ‘toggle’ the visibility of notes.
