Remarkable / Worksheets / Grade 6 Maths / Length, mass, capacity and temperature
A one-page CAPS Grade 6 Maths poster on length, mass, capacity and temperature (Measurement), with the key ideas, key words and a tip to remember.
Use mm for tiny things, cm and m for everyday lengths and km for long distances.
2,8 km = 2,8 × 1 000 = 2 800 m
4 200 g = 4 200 ÷ 1 000 = 4,2 kg
To a smaller unit: multiply. To a bigger unit: divide. For km, kg and l, the comma moves 3 places.
0,6 l = 0,6 × 1 000 = 600 ml
Degrees Celsius (°C). Work out what each small mark is worth. To find the change, subtract.
From 18 °C to 35 °C: 35 − 18 = 17 °C
