We measure LENGTH to know…
• how long things are.
• how tall they are.
• how far apart they are.

We measure LENGTH with…
• a tape measure.
• a ruler.

We measure LENGTH in…- KILOMETRES (km) to
measure BIG/LONG DISTANCES.
- METRES (m) to measure MEDIUM length.
- CENTIMETRES (cm) to measure SMALL objects.
- MILLIMETRES (mm) to measure TINY/THIN objects.

AREA• We measure an area to know
the occupied SURFACE.
• We measure a BIG area in square kilometres (km2).
• We measure a MEDIUM area in square metres (m2).
• We measure a SMALL area in square centimetres (cm2).

We measure WEIGHT to know…
• how much an object or a person weighs.
• a scale.
We measure WEIGHT with…

We measure WEIGHT in…
- KILOGRAMS (kg) to weigh HUGE/BIG objects or people.
- GRAMS (g) to weigh SMALL/TINY objects.

We measure VOLUME to know…
• how much SPACE an object occupies.
We measure VOLUME in…
- CUBIC METRES (m3) to measure BIG occupied spaces.
- CUBIC CENTIMETRES (cm3)
to measure SMALL occupied spaces.

We tell the TIME to know…
• what the time is.
• how much time goes by.
• how long an activity lasts.

We measure CAPACITY to know…
• The amount/liquid a container can hold.

We measure CAPACITY with…
• a measuring jug.

We measure CAPACITY in…
- LITRES (L) to measure BIG amounts of liquids.
- MILLILITRES (ml) to measure SMALL amounts.
