Measuring and Time Worksheets for Year 4 (age 8-9)
A wide range of quality resources covering measurement, time and money.
Converting between units is an important part of the Year 4 Programme of Study for Measurement. For instance, children should be able to convert kilometres to metres or grams to kilograms, which needs a good knowledge of multiplying and dividing by 1,000.
Calculating perimeters and finding the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares is also an important part of this year’s work.
The Programme of Study states:
Pupils should be taught to:
• convert between different units of measure (e.g. kilometre to metre; hour to minute)
• measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear figure (including squares) in centimetres and metres
• find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares
• estimate, compare and calculate different measures, including money in pounds and pence
We have great coverage of all these targets; take a look now.
TIME
Children entering Year 4 should be able to read and write the time using an analogue clock and be familiar with digital clocks. However, there will be many who are still uncertain about this and will need extra practice.
In Year 4 reading, writing and converting time between analogue and digital clocks continues and children should get plenty of experience with reading and writing using both the 12 hour clock and the 24 hour clock. An important part of this is to display the time correctly using a.m. or p.m. for the 12 hour clock, but not with the 24 hour system.
A major part of the year’s work will involve solving problems converting times. These might be:
• from hours to minutes
• from minutes to seconds
• from weeks to days
• from years to months.
A good working knowledge of how many minutes there are in an hour, how many hours in a day etc. is needed for this. There are plenty of other practical activities that can be done to help with understanding time. TV guides are a useful resource to work out lengths of programmes. Stop watches and stop clocks can also be used to find out how much time is spent on an activity or how long a task takes.
We have many excellent pages on all the above subjects, to be found in our Year 4 Measuring and Time category.
