Measurement in Year 4

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...

Measurement in Year 3

We have a great range of worksheets covering measurement in Year 3. Children are expected to know certain facts, including: 1 kilometre = 1,000 metres 1 metre = 100 centimetres 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams 1 litre = 1,000 millilitres They are also expected to recognise half units, such as...

As we have separate categories for each of these we will not include them here, concentrating on length, weight/mass and capacity. The National Curriculum Programme of Study states that: Pupils should be taught to:...

Year 5: Negative Numbers

Whilst children will be introduced to negative numbers in Year 4, it is in Year 5 that most of the work on this topic is done. It is recommended that using real-life situations to explore negative numbers is the best approach and thermometers are certainly one of the best resources....
