Measurement Concepts Introduction
Help plan a pop-up market stall. Choose sensible units and tools, calculate measurements, and explain your thinking. Use metric units.
Choose units and tools
A good measurement starts with choosing what to measure and how.
1.A stall needs a strip of ribbon long enough to go across a table about 1.8 units long. Which unit is most suitable for recording the table’s length?
- millimetres
- metres
- square metres
- litres
2.Match each market task to the correct measurement type. Tasks: (a) measure the tabletop to buy a cover, (b) find how much juice a dispenser holds, (c) measure the distance from the stall to the gate. Measurement types: length, capacity, area.
- a) Tabletop cover
- b) Juice dispenser capacity
- c) Distance to the gate
- Capacity
- Length
- Area
3.Choose an appropriate tool for each task: measure the length of a table; measure the liquid in a bottle; measure the mass of a bag of apples.
Use measurements in context
Work out what the numbers mean before choosing an operation.
4.A crate is 40 cm long, 30 cm wide and 20 cm high. Which expression gives its volume?
- 40 + 30 + 20
- 40 × 30
- 40 × 30 × 20
- 40 × 2
5.A 330 mL drink bottle holds less than, the same as, or more than 1 litre? Explain using a conversion.
6.The stall cloth is a rectangle measuring 2 m by 1.5 m. Calculate its area, including the correct unit.
7.A seller has 2.4 m of string and cuts off 85 cm. How much string remains? Give your answer in centimetres.
8.A rectangular planter is 60 cm long, 25 cm wide and 20 cm deep. Calculate its capacity in cubic centimetres. Show the calculation.
