Comparing measures - Money

What does it mean?

When we buy something from the shops or pay someone for work they have done, we use money. In this
country, money is measured in pounds and pence. Other countries use different currencies.

Money is measured using decimals. The decimal place separates the pounds and the pence.

Money Facts
100 x 1p = £1 Money comes in two forms:
50 x 2p = £1
coins and notes.
20 x 5p = £1
10 x 10p = £1
5 x 20p = £1
Coins: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2
2 x 50p = £1 Notes: £5, £10, £20 and £50

Use the signs <, > and = to compare the amounts of money.

a) 4 x 5p ____ 20p e) 20p ____ 3 x 10p

b) 50p ____ 2 x 20p f) £1.20 ____ 6 x 20p

c) £1 ____ 25 x 2p g) £2 ____ 3 x 50p

d) £1.50 ____ 50p + 50p h) £1 ____ 11 x 10p

Comparing measures - Weight

What does it mean?

When we measure weight, we use grams and kilograms. There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram.

We use weight to measure our own weight, the weight of ingredients in cooking and when we are posting a
parcel at the post office. Weighing scales are used to measure weight.

Can you think of any other times when we may need to understand weight?

Weight Facts
1000g = 1kg Other words that measure weight:
500g = 0.5kg
250g = 0.25kg Tonne = 1000kg
100g = 0.1kg
--------------------------- Others include: stones, pounds (lbs) & ounces (oz)
2500g = 2.5kg

Use the signs <, > and = to compare the different weights.

a) 1500g ____ 1.2kg e) 0.7kg ____ 750g

b) 0.5kg ____ 400g f) 250g ____ 0.25kg

c) 3000g ____ 3kg g) 2.7kg ____ 2600g

d) 1400g ____ 40kg h) 1.25kg ____ 1300g

Comparing measures - Length

What does it mean?

When we measure length, we use millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres. There are 100 centimetres
in 1 metre.

We use length to measure furniture, distance (how far away something is) and our height. Rulers can be used
to measure length.

Can you think of any other times when we may need to understand length?

Length Facts
10mm = 1cm Other words that measure length:
100cm = 1m Miles
1000mm = 1m
1000m = 1km
You may have seen this word on signs near roads.
---------------------------
2500m = 2.5km

Use the signs <, > and = to compare the different lengths.

a) 10cm ____ 1m e) 0.5m ____ 200cm

b) 150cm ____ 1.2m f) 200cm ____ 0.2m

c) 6.5km ____ 6500m g) 600m ____ 0.5km

d) 2000mm ____ 2.2m h) 220m ____ 3km

Comparing measures - Capacity

What does it mean?

When we measure capacity, we use millilitres and litres. There are 1000 millilitres in 1 litre.

We use capacity to measure liquids such as orange juice and other drinks.

Can you think of any other times when we may need to understand capacity?

Capacity Facts
1000ml = 1l
Other words that measure capacity:
1500ml = 1.5l
Pints & Gallons
500ml = 0.5l
You may have seen pints on milk bottles and
200ml = 0.2l
gallons at petrol stations.
250ml = 0.25l

Use the signs <, > and = to compare the different measurements of capacity.

a) 1100mƖ ____ 1.2Ɩ e) 0.9Ɩ ____ 900mƖ

b) 0.5Ɩ ____ 450mƖ f) 45Ɩ ____ 4500mƖ

c) 600mƖ ____ 6Ɩ g) 700mƖ ____ 0.7Ɩ

d) 2000mƖ ____ 2Ɩ h) 3500mƖ ____ 3.2Ɩ

Reading measures - Time

What does it mean?

When we read time from a digital or analogue clock, we use hours and minutes.

Can you think of any other vocabulary you may use involving time?

You will also need to be able to convert between analogue and digital time.
For example:

You will also be asked to convert to 24 hour

time but we will cover this later.
At the moment, we will use am and pm.
10:00 am am = ante meridiem (morning)
pm = post meridiem (afternoon/evening)
Meridiem is a Latin word meaning midday.
So, am means before midday and pm means
after midday.

Write each time shown by the analogue clock into digital time.

Reading measures - Time

What does it mean?

The 24 hour clock is useful because you don’t need to use am and pm to clarify whether a time is in the morning
or evening.
Places such as hospitals and airports use this time regularly as it just consists of numbers, rather than numbers
and letters.
The 24 hour clock remains the same as digital and analogue times up to 12 midday and then instead of going
back to ‘1’ and changing to pm, we continue from 13:00 to 23:59.

Can you guess what number might follow 23:59?

Do you think it’s 24:00 or 00:00? Why?

Digital Time: AM/PM 24 Hour Clock

00:00 am (Midnight) 00:00
01:00 am 01:00
02:00 am 02:00
03:[Link] 03:00

07:00 am 07:00
08:00 am 08:00
09:00 am 09:00
10:00 am 10:00
11:00 am 11:00 The 24 hour clock must consist of 4 digits.
12:00 am 12:00
01:00 pm 13:00 04:00
02:00 pm 14:00
03:00 pm 15:00
But digital time involving am and pm can
04:00 pm 16:00
consist of 4 digits or 3 digits.
05:00 pm 17:00
06:00 pm 18:00
07:00 pm 19:00 4:00pm or 04:00pm
08:00 pm 20:00
09:00 pm 21:00
