Measurement Hunt Worksheet

A group is preparing a gear-and-supplies station for a New Zealand great walk. Use the measurement clues and data below to solve each task. Show working where useful. Remember: 1 m = 100 cm, 1 kg = 1,000 g, and 1 L = 1,000 mL.

C. Estimate, measure, and reason

Choose suitable units and use sensible estimates in real situations.

8.Choose the most suitable unit for each measurement: the distance of a walking track (m or km); the mass of a snack bar (g or kg); the capacity of a small drink carton (mL or L).
9.A map says the campsite is 3.6 km from the car park. Convert this distance to metres.
10.A student estimates a 58 cm backpack is about half a metre long. Is that a reasonable estimate? Explain by comparing 58 cm with 0.5 m.
