Fascinating Fact:

Pick the right unit. Length uses cm or m, mass uses g or kg, capacity uses ml or l, temperature uses °C.

In KS1 Maths, pupils choose sensible units to measure everyday things and read simple scales. They estimate first, then measure carefully to compare sizes and solve real problems.

Key Terms

  • Unit: A standard amount for measuring, such as cm, g, ml, or °C.
  • Estimate: A sensible guess before you measure for real.
  • Convert: To change between related units, such as 100 cm equals 1 m.

Try a quick practice: Measurement Game to boost your estimating and scale-reading skills.
