Measurement
Within this home learning pack, we will be looking at measurements. We will be looking at time,
converting measurements and looking at estimating volume and capacity.
Monday:
Today’s learning is all around converting between metric units of measurements. The table below
explains the key knowledge needed to complete the task:
1 cm = 10mm
1m = 100cm
1km = 1000m
1kg = 1000g
1l = 1000ml
The following table will also help us to convert between metric units of measurement, for example if
I wanted to convert 4km to metres:
This chart can be used to
calculate that 4km is
equivalent to 4000m
(4x1000).
Challenge:
Use your conversion chart to help you answer the following questions –
Tuesday:
We will be looking at time. Can you create a timetable of your week. Within your timetable, I would
like to see the following:
Time of your activity in words.
Time of your activity on an analogue clock.
Time of you activity on a 12 hour digital clock (remember to place a.m. and p.m.)
Time of your activity on a 24 hour digital clock.
If you are finding all of it a little tricky, choose one but make sure you challenge yourself.
Here is an example below.
Activity Time in Words Analogue clock 12 hour 24 hour
Wake up Six o’clock in the morning.
6.00 a.m. 0600
Breakfast Half six in the morning
6.30 a.m. 0630
Challenge:
Remember
60 seconds= 1 minute
60 minutes = 1 hour
12 months= 1 year
7 days= 1 week

Wednesday:
Today we are going to be estimating volume. Volume is the amount of space a 3D shape takes up.
A cubic cm block takes up 1 cubic cm. This is written as 1 cm³.
You can work out the volume of a shape by multiplying height × width × depth.
If the shape is made of cubic cm blocks, you can count the cubes to find the shape's volume.
In today’s task we are going to use the idea of counting cubes in order to estimate the volume of an
object.

Challenge:
Estimate the volume of each shape below. The activity is in three parts of varying difficulty. Please
choose the level of difficulty which you feel suits you best – alternatively you may wish to complete
all three!
Thursday:
Today we are going to be estimating capacity. Capacity refers to the amount of liquid a container (or
vessel) can hold. For example, a plastic bottle may have a capacity of 500ml – this means that it can
hold up to 500ml of liquid.
The learning for today is practical based, however it is important that the appropriate health and
safety considerations are made. If possible I would like the task to take place in a location where
water can be used safely e.g. the kitchen sink or the garden. Secondly, please ensure that you have
permission from an adult at home to use things such as bottles, tubs, jugs etc.
There are two ways to complete today’s learning – you are free to choose the method most
appropriate to you or complete both if you wish!
1. Using non-standard measures:
You will need a cup/mug and 3-5 different containers e.g. empty plastic bottle, saucepan,
jug, tub.
How many cups do you think will be needed to fill each container? Use the table below to
record your estimation.
How many cups did it actually take? Use your cup and some cold water to fill each container,
one at a time. Use the table below to record how many cups it took to fill each container.
Container Estimation: How many cups do I think will be
needed to fill the container?
Actual: How many cups did it take to fill
each container?
How close was my estimation?
2. Using standard measures:
You will need a measuring jug and 3-5 different containers.
Can you estimate the capacity of each container? Use the table below to record your ideas.
Measure the actual capacity of each container by filling the container with water and
emptying it into your measuring jug. Remember to read the scale to the nearest millilitre.
Again, record your results in the table below:
Container Estimation: What do I think is the capacity of
the container?
Actual: What is the actual capacity of the
container?
How close was my estimation?
Although the table has been provided, please feel free to create your own!
Friday:
Happy Friday everyone! Today we are going to be applying our understanding of all the knowledge
and skills developed during the week to help us answer a range of word problems. When solving
word problems, remember to think about the following steps:
1. Make sure you have read the problem thoroughly.
2. Underline any useful information that may help you answer the question.
3. Try representing the problem in a different way – for example you could draw it or use a bar
method.
4. You could even create the problem using real life objects! How creative can you be? Don’t
forget to share your ideas on Seesaw!
5. Use your understanding to identify the operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division) needed.
6. Solve the problem and, where possible, use the inverse operation to check your answer.
