Metric Measurement Mastery
Ari, Hana and Nathan are preparing for a dance competition. Help them measure props, costumes and refreshments. Use centimetres (cm), metres (m), grams (g), kilograms (kg), millilitres (mL) and capacity units. Remember: 100 cm = 1 m, 1,000 g = 1 kg, and 1,000 mL = 1 L.
Length: setting up the stage
Choose units, read a scale and compare lengths.
1.Ari measures the ribbon for a costume. Which unit is most sensible for the ribbon’s length: centimetres (cm) or metres (m)?
- cm
- m
2.The stage is 6 m long. How many centimetres long is it? Show the conversion.
3.Hana checks a prop pole on this number line. What length is marked?
4.Put these stage-marking lengths in order from shortest to longest: 125 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 75 cm.
Mass: packing the costume box
Think about the size of each mass and compare the values.
5.Nathan packs a small costume button. Which unit is most suitable for its mass: grams (g) or kilograms (kg)?
- g
- kg
6.A box of dance shoes has a mass of 2 kg. How many grams is that?
7.The sound equipment weighs 8 kg. A bag of ribbons weighs 650 g. Which is heavier, and by how much in grams?
Capacity: preparing refreshments
Use capacity units to measure the drinks for the dancers.
8.The crew needs to measure a large jug of water. Which unit is more convenient: millilitres (mL) or litres (L)?
- mL
- L
9.A jug contains 750 mL of drink. How much is this in litres?
10.The drink dispenser holds 2 L. It already contains 1,250 mL. How many more millilitres are needed to fill it?
11.Hana pours 500 mL into each of three drink bottles. How many litres of drink does she pour altogether?
12.Choose the best measurement unit for each job and explain one choice: measuring the stage length; weighing a costume; measuring a drink bottle’s capacity. Use m or cm, kg or g, and L or mL.
