Vocabulary Quiz - Measurement: Mass and Capacity

A Maths Vocabulary Quiz for Year 4 students delves into the concepts of measurement, specifically focusing on mass and capacity. The quiz is designed to assess the students' understanding of these fundamental concepts. The first question asks, "What is capacity?" with the correct answer being C: the amount something can hold. This question clarifies the definition of capacity as a measure of how much a container can contain.

Subsequent questions explore related terminology. For instance, "What is mass?" is answered with A: the weight of an object, highlighting that mass refers to the amount of matter in an object. The quiz then addresses units of measurement, such as a litre, which is B: a metric measure of volume, and a gram, which is B: a metric measure of mass. Students are also quizzed on the practical application of these concepts, learning that scales are used to measure mass (D) and a measuring cylinder can be used to measure capacity (C). Additionally, the quiz differentiates between the metric system, with a kilogram being A: a metric measure of mass, and the imperial system, where a pint is B: an imperial volume unit for measuring liquids. Lastly, when weighing an object, the quiz reinforces that one is finding out C: the mass of the object.
