Measurement and Timetables

Finn, Hugo and Arjun are helping at a music festival. Use measurement units and the festival timetable to solve each challenge. Show your thinking where you can.

Festival gear check

Choose sensible units and compare measurements.

1.Finn needs to measure the length of a guitar cable. Which tool should he use?

A ruler or tape measure
Kitchen scales
A measuring jug

2.The festival team weighs a bag of rice for lunch. Which unit is best for recording its mass?

Centimetres (cm)
Grams (g)
Millilitres (mL)

3.Circle the two festival items whose capacity could sensibly be measured in millilitres (mL).

A bottle of water
A drumstick
A small bottle of hand sanitiser
A stage banner

4.Complete the comparison with the best word: longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, more or less. A 2 m microphone cable is than a 1 m cable.

5.Complete the comparison with the best word: longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, more or less. A 5 kg speaker is than a 1 kg empty cardboard box.

6.Complete the comparison with the best word: longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, more or less. A large drink bottle holds liquid than a small cup.

7.Three signs are 45 cm, 32 cm and 51 cm long. Put their lengths in order from shortest to longest.

On the festival timetable

All times are in the afternoon. Read the schedule, then work out the gaps between events.

2:00 pm — Gates open

2:30 pm — Welcome music

3:15 pm — Dance performance

4:00 pm — Snack break

4:30 pm — Final song

8.Hugo arrives when the gates open. What time does the welcome music begin?

9.How long is it from the start of the dance performance at 3:15 pm until the snack break at 4:00 pm?

10.Arjun watches the welcome music and dance performance. How many minutes pass from the start of welcome music at 2:30 pm to the start of the dance performance at 3:15 pm?

11.The final song lasts 20 minutes. It begins at 4:30 pm. What time does it finish?

12.Finn wants to visit the snack stall after the dance performance but before the final song. Name one suitable time for his visit.

13.A festival helper says, “The snack break is half an hour after the dance performance starts.” Is this correct? Explain using the timetable.
