A four-page measuring homework for Year 3 maths. Pupils read scales in cm, g and ml, measure real objects around the house, recall facts like 1 metre = 100 cm, compare and order mixed measurements, then solve problems such as totalling 250 g of flour and 175 g of sugar. Answer key included. Covers the England National Curriculum objective on measuring, comparing, adding and subtracting length, mass and capacity.
Measurement
“Measure, compare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm); mass (kg/g); volume/capacity (l/ml)”
All three sections work across length, mass and capacity in the objective's units.
Read measurements from pictured scales, then measure household objects in the Measuring at Home task.
Conversion facts like 1 metre = 100 cm, comparisons such as 450 g and 500 g, and ordering mixed lengths.
Word problems including a recipe total and juice left in an 800 ml jug.
Answers for every question.
Homework
The Measuring at Home task is written for kitchens and bedrooms, not classrooms.
Practical lesson
Swap the home objects for classroom ones and run it as a measuring circuit.
Assessment check
