Measurement

A great collection of pages including using standard measures of length, capacity and mass.

In Year 2 standard metric measures are introduced, including metres, litres and kilograms. The greater than and less than signs are also used. Our worksheets provide plenty of opportunity for practical work as it is important that children choose and use appropriate units to estimate and measure and can read the numbered divisions on a scale.

When measuring in centimetres children need to understand the importance of starting at zero when using a ruler.

The mass of objects can be compared, usually using scales and later grams and kilograms are introduced.

Children should get plenty of practice comparing the volume/capacity of different containers. Millilitres and litres are introduced.

Also available in our Year 2 Measurement category is an excellent set of pages on measuring temperature as Celsius is introduced for reading a thermometer.
