Measures (Year 4)

Year 4 pupils develop their knowledge of measures by working with length, mass, area, and capacity. They use practical tasks to compare, estimate, and calculate with standard units.

Fascinating Fact:

The world’s largest pizza ever baked measured over 1,200 square metres, bigger than two basketball courts.

In KS2 Maths, Year 4 children extend their learning of measures by solving problems involving length, weight, and volume. They also explore area and perimeter in everyday contexts.

  • Area: The amount of space inside a shape, measured in square units.
  • Perimeter: The distance around the outside of a shape.
  • Capacity: The maximum amount a container can hold, usually measured in litres.
What measures do Year 4 pupils learn about?

In Year 4, pupils learn about length, weight, capacity, perimeter, and area, using standard metric units to solve problems.

How do pupils calculate area in Year 4?

Pupils calculate the area of simple shapes, such as rectangles, by multiplying length by width and recording the result in square units.

Why is perimeter important in maths?

Perimeter is important because it measures the boundary of a shape, which is useful for real-life tasks like fencing a garden or framing a picture.

1 .
10 millimetres is equal to?
1cm
10cm
100cm
1,000cm
1m = 100cm = 1,000mm
2 .
Which of the following could be the weight of a small puppy, for instance a Chihuahua?
100g
10kg
100kg
50g
A larger puppy, such as a Great Dane, can weigh as much as 1kg at birth!
3 .
Which of these statements is true?
Pint > 1 litre
Pint = 1 litre
Pint > 0.5 litre
Pint = 2 litres
A pint is slightly more than half a litre
4 .
What is one tenth of a litre in millilitres?
0.1ml
1ml
10ml
100ml
There are 1,000 ml in a litre so divide by 10
5 .
What is 6.45m expressed in metres and cm?
6m 45cm
64m 5cm
0m 645cm
645m 0cm
Here the numbers to the left of the decimal point are metres. The first two numbers to the right of the decimal point are cm. If there was a third number to the right of the decimal point then all three would be mm
6 .
How many grams are equivalent to one quarter kg?
25g
250g
250.5g
2,500g
There are 1,000g in a kg so divide by 4
7 .
Which unit would you use to measure the length of a fly?
Kilometre
Millimetre
Centimetre
Metre
Flies are very small so mm would be best
8 .
How many millimetres in one metre?
10mm
100mm
1,000mm
10,000mm
The prefix 'milli' means the same as 1?1,000
9 .
What is half of 1 metre in cm?
0.5cm
5cm
50cm
500cm
1m = 100cm so a half of 100 is 50
10 .
How do we write 451cm in m?
0.451m
4.51m
45.1m
451m
Divide by 100 to convert centimetres to metres
