Measurement resources

Students read scales to measure images of objects to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.

For this NEMP task students order six shapes from smallest to largest by area.

In this practical task, students estimate, then measure, the weight of two bags using kitchen scales.

Students order litre and millilitre capacities from smallest to largest, compare given capacities and explain how they know whether one is larger/smaller or the same.

This practical task requires students to use a 1 metre measure to estimate the dimensions of a room, and then calculate the volume of the room.

Students construct a time line by selecting the best analogue time for a range of common daily activities.

Students convert millilitres to litres and vice versa when working out quantities of bottles and glasses of fizzy drink for a party.

Students work out the area of different shapes.

For this NEMP task students perform a range of practical measuring tasks including calculations involving time and selection of appropriate units of measuring.

This task is about identifying the best unit to measure temperature, weight, time, capacity and length.
