LENGTH
Length
Length measures the distance between two points.
Formal units for measuring length
mm = millimetres
m = metres
cm = centimetres
km = kilometres
Formal units for measuring length
mm = millimetres
m = metres
cm = centimetres
km = kilometres
Formal units for measuring length
mm = _________
___ = metres
cm = _______
__ = kilometres
Converting units of measurement
10 mm = 1 cm
100 cm = 1 m
1000 m = 1 km
Convert these units of measurement
20 mm = __ cm
___ cm = 2 m
2500 m = ___ km
Convert these units of measurement
__ mm = 10 cm
500 cm = ___ m
____ m = 9.5 km
Answer true or false to the statements below
15 mm < 105 cm
500 cm > 5 m
950 m = 9.5 km
Answer true or false to the statements below
22 mm > 220 cm
50 cm = 0.5 m
10 000 m > 1 km
AREA AND PERIMETER
Area
Area measures the space within an object.
Formal units for measuring area
mm²= millimetres squared
m² = metres squared
cm² = centimetres squared
km² = kilometres squared
Formula for measuring area
Area = Length x Width
A = L X W
Perimeter
Perimeter measures the length around an object.
Formula for measuring perimeter
Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width
P = (L + L) + (W + W)
CAPACITY
Capacity
Capacity measures the amount an object can hold. This is
usually in liquid form.
Formal units for measuring capacity
mL= millilitres
L = litres
kL = Litres
Formal units for measuring capacity
mL= _______
___ = litres
kL = ________
Converting units of measurement
1000 mL = 1 L
1000 L = 1 kL
Converting units of measurement
1000 mL = __ L
___ L= 1 kL
Convert these units of measurement
2500 mL = __ L
___ L= 4 kL
5.5 L = _____ mL
3300 L = ____ kL
Answer true or false to the statements below
500 mL < 0.5 L
250 mL = 0.25 L
1000 mL < 10 L
10 L > 1 kL
VOLUME
Volume
Volume measures the amount of space within an object.
Formal units for measuring volume
mm³= millimetres cubed
m³ = metres cubed
cm³ = centimetres cubed
km³ = kilometres cubed
MASS
Mass
Mass is the amount of matter or material contained in an
object and remains constant.
Formal units for measuring mass
mg= milligrams
g = grams
kg = kilograms
t = tonnes
Formal units for measuring mass
mg= _______
__ = grams
kg = ______
___ = tonnes
Converting units of measurement
1000 mg = 1 g
1000 g = 1 kg
1000 kg = 1 t
Converting units of measurement
1000 mg = ___ g
____ g = 1 kg
1000 kg = ____ t
Convert these units of measurement
2500 mg = __ g
___ g = 4 kg
5.5 g = _____ mg
3300 kg = ____ t
Answer true or false to the statements below
500 mg < 0.5 g
250 g = 0.25 kg
1000 g < 10 kg
10 kg > 1 t
