Common misconception
Some pupils may see the prefix 'milli' and think it is related to 'million'.
Part of the lesson focuses on the etymology of the words and the fact that the prefix 'milli' means 'thousandth'; a millimetre is a thousandth of a litre and a millilitre is one thousandth of a litre. Consider displaying this in your environment.
