Measuring and Time Maths Worksheets For Year 3 (age 7-8)
The whole metric system comes to life this year, with the relationships between kilometres, metres and centimetres, kilograms and grams and litres and millilitres understood and known. Reading scales becomes more complex as well as drawing more accurately. Don’t forget all that important work on digital and analogue clocks.
Measuring Using Miles
Although we are metric we still use miles to measure car journeys. Most odd! Here are some routes to work out in miles.
Measuring Using Kilometres
Now some worksheets on measuring in kilometres. For those who like to convert, 1500 metres is about a mile, and 10 000 metres is roughly 6 miles.
Problems Involving Measurement
Some word problems involving measurement and an interesting little investigation about the size of your head.
Order Length
Place various lengths in order of size. A mixture of mm, cm, m and km.
Measure Using Kilograms and Litres
Here we have activities on measuring with kilograms and litres. They are nicely linked as one litre of water weighs one kilogram and it would fit exactly into a 10x10x10 cm cube.
Choose and Use Suitable Units to Measure
Estimate and measure how far it is round things, collect labels with metric units on and make sensible decisions about measurements.
Draw Lines to the Nearest Half Centimetre
Use a ruler to draw lines, accurate to the nearest half centimetre. (Note printers may print page at slightly different size to the original, depending on settings.)
Interpret Scales
What lengths are shown on these scale drawings of a ruler? Also reading weighing scales and measuring jugs. Not all the divisions are labelled which makes it harder.
More Interpreting Scales
Tricky reading of scales. look out for using halves.
Equivalent Measures
Writing measurements, converting centimetres to metres, millimetres to centimetres etc.
Days Weeks and Months
Calendars are a good resource for maths and young children can find them quite tricky to understand.
Read the Time to 5 Minutes
Reading the time has always been a problem for many children. Here we read minutes past and minutes to the hour, with intervals of 5 minutes.
Writing the Time
Read digital clocks and write the time in words, and vice versa.
Time Word Problems
Here we have some word problems and they are all about the time!
Digital time diary
Use digital clock times to complete the sentences.
