Level 3-4 Shapes - Measuring Length
Measuring is an important skill in KS3 Maths. When we measure distances, like the length or width of shapes, we use special units. This quiz will check how well you understand how these units relate to each other.
In maths, most distance measurements use millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), metres (m), or kilometres (km). Remember, there are 10 millimetres in a centimetre, 100 centimetres in a metre, and 1,000 metres in a kilometre. The metric system makes it easy.
