Measuring Up - Pretest
In this worksheet, you are able to assess what your students know about measuring with comparative size before beginning a unit working with more formal units.
It is a part of a larger measurement unit written to help students understand the importance of formal units, the metric system, and how they help us measure the world around us.
Learning goals
- We are learning to measure, order and compare objects using standard metric units of length, mass and capacity.
- We are learning to identify which metric units are used to measure items and to make estimates using known units.
- We are learning to measure and compare objects and events using length, mass and capacity and use instruments with labelled markings, e.g. measuring tape, ruler.
