Length, Mass and Volume
Measure length, mass and volume of liquid in compound units, and convert to the smaller unit and back.
Your child measures in kilometres, metres and centimetres, in kilograms and grams, and in litres and millilitres, and writes measurements in two units such as 2 m 46 cm. They choose a sensible unit, read scales and measuring jugs by finding what one small gap stands for, convert between two units and the smaller unit, and change to the same unit before adding or subtracting.

About this chapter
These Primary 3 length, mass and volume questions follow the MOE outcomes for the year: measuring in kilometres and millilitres, measuring in compound units such as 2 m 40 cm, and converting between the larger and smaller unit. The chapter moves from choosing units, to reading scales and liquid levels, to converting and calculating, with a mixed set at the end.
Practise by question type: choosing units of measurement questions, reading weighing scales and measuring jugs, unit conversion questions, length, mass and volume word problems and p3 length, mass and volume mixed practice questions.
