This worksheet teaches students to read rulers, measuring jugs, kitchen scales, thermometers and clocks, including working out unlabelled marks and readings between whole units. The worksheet is split into warm-up questions, standard questions and then extension questions to test you.
The concepts it covers:
- Length is measured in mm, cm, m and km; mass in g and kg; capacity in mL and L; temperature in °C.
- 1 cm = 10 mm, 1 m = 100 cm, 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 L = 1000 mL.
- Not every mark on a scale has a number. Work out what each small mark is worth before you read it.
- A measurement can be part of the way to the next unit: 2.5 kg is 2 kg and half of the next kilogram.
What your child will practise:
- Reading rulers, measuring jugs, kitchen scales and thermometers.
- Working out the value of unlabelled marks.
- Reading measurements that are between whole units.
- Measuring an object that doesn't start at zero.
- Choosing a sensible unit and instrument.
Every section opens with a worked example, and the download includes a full answer key with step-by-step solutions and teaching notes on the mistakes students most commonly make.
