Measuring Maths Worksheets For Year 5 (age 9-10)
Accuracy is the key to success. Measurements of length, weight and capacity become more accurate and these can be converted from larger to smaller units (eg change 2.7 kg to 2700 g). By now children should be proficient with reading the time as well as using the 24 hour clock to read timetables.
