Remarkable / Worksheets / Grade 4 Maths / Length, mass and capacity
A one-page CAPS Grade 4 Maths poster on length, mass and capacity (Measurement), with the key ideas, key words and a tip to remember.
Thickness of a coin: mm
Length of a book: cm
Length of a room: m
Distance between towns: km
A loaf of bread: about 700 g
A bag of mielie meal: about 10 kg
A teaspoon: about 5 ml
A cup: about 250 ml
A bucket: about 10 l
To change to a smaller unit, multiply. To change to a bigger unit, divide.
5 km = 5 × 1 000 = 5 000 m
6 000 ml = 6 000 ÷ 1 000 = 6 l
2 750 g = 2 kg 750 g
Count the spaces between two numbers. Work out what each small mark is worth.
From 0 to 5 there are 5 spaces, so each space is 1 cm. The dot is at 7 cm.
Change all the measures to the same unit before you add or subtract.
1 m 50 cm + 80 cm
= 150 cm + 80 cm = 230 cm
