Units of Length - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help students understand and practice measuring different objects and lengths in various units. The first part of the worksheet focuses on object measurement, where students are asked to measure the length and width of everyday items such as a whiteboard, desk, and noticeboard, recording their findings in metres and centimetres. This exercise helps students become familiar with measuring larger objects and converting between units of length.

The second section of the worksheet shifts to a practical task where students are required to measure parts of a house in millimetres. They must find the height of the garage, the width of the house, the height of the door, the width of the chimney, and the height of the downstairs window, all in millimetres. This task encourages precision and attention to detail. Additionally, the worksheet includes exercises for comparing lengths in different units, such as centimetres, millimetres, and metres, and requires students to perform addition and subtraction with these units. For example, students are asked to circle the longest length from a given set and to convert and sum or subtract lengths, writing their answers in centimetres, which reinforces their understanding of the metric system and develops their mathematical skills in measurement and conversion.
