We have been using metric measurement for a long time now yet many children still seem confused when measuring, whether it is distance, weight or capacity.
There are a few simple facts that children need to know, including:
1 kilometre equals 1000 metres
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
1 litre equals 1000 millilitres
Not too tricky and much easier than the old imperial unts where 1760 yards equals one mile!!
There are a number of excellent metric worksheets for Year 4, thanks to Mathsgogogo and MathSphere for allowing me to ‘borrow’ them.
