Metric Measurement Stations

A wildlife recovery team is preparing supplies for a rescued kiwi. Work through the measurement stations using metric units. Show calculations where needed.

Station 1: Length

The team needs a safe temporary pen. Its sides measure 1.8 m, 2.4 m, 1.8 m and 2.4 m. Use the number line to help convert measurements.

1.What is the pen’s perimeter in metres? Show how you worked it out.
2.Convert 2.4 m to centimetres, then use the number line scale to locate your answer.

Station 2: Mass and Capacity

Ruben packs food for the kiwi. Each food tub has a mass of 350 g. The water container holds 1.5 L.

3.What is the total mass of four food tubs in grams? Give the same mass in kilograms.
4.The team pours 600 mL of water from the container. How much water remains? Give your answer in millilitres and litres.
5.Choose the most sensible unit for weighing one kiwi: g or kg? Explain your choice.

Station 3: Time and Temperature

Ana starts checking the recovery station at 9:35 am. The check takes 28 minutes. The room thermometer reads 18 °C.

6.What time does Ana finish the check?
7.Which temperature is warmer: 18 °C or 21 °C? By how many degrees?

Station 4: Estimate and Check

Use sensible everyday benchmarks and metric conversions to help the recovery team make quick decisions.

8.Match each measurement to the most suitable unit: the length of a pencil; the mass of a kiwi; water in a drink bottle; a short activity’s duration.
  • Length of a pencil
  • Mass of a kiwi
  • Water in a drink bottle
  • Short activity duration
  • kilograms
  • minutes
  • millilitres
  • centimetres
9.Nikau estimates that a 1.2 m carrying box is 120 cm long. Is the estimate correct? Explain the conversion.
10.The team has 2 L of cleaning solution and uses 750 mL. How much is left? Show the answer in both litres and millilitres.
