Measuring Year 1

Measuring Year 1, KS1. Maths homework help for kids in Primary School with estimating lengths, weights and volume. Worksheets & games for kids.

Pick a level

Estimating lengths.

You can estimate a length of an object or distance by comparing it with the length of something you know.

Use you handspan or your step to measure the length of something.

Find out how long your garden or bedroom is by measuring in steps. How many steps does it take to get to the end?

How long is a table or maybe your bed? Measure in handspans to find out.

What other things can you measure with steps or handspans?

Length words

Height is measured upwards. It's how tall something stands.

Distance is measured between two places, from beginning to end.

Width is measured from side to side.

Depth is measured downwards. You would measure how deep a swimming pool is.

Measuring length with steps is not a good way of measure as everyone has different sized feet. So instead we use centimetres and metres to measure things.

2. Practise using money

When you are out shopping, be sure to draw your child’s attention to coins and notes. Point out prices in the supermarket and talk about which coins and notes we could use to pay for things.

Seeing the money used will help them understand that each coin has a different value. Ask your child to find the totals using different combinations of coins. For example, could you make 20p using the coins in your hand?

Activity: Coins

Order the coins by value.

3. Use the language of time

When you are talking about time with your child, try to use language like before , after , next , first , today , yesterday , tomorrow , morning , afternoon, and evening . If you frequently use this precise vocabulary, your child will pick it up in no time.

4. Make a calendar

Ask your child to sequence all your family events in a typical day or week in a planner. Talk to them about different parts of the day, the days in a week, and even the months in a year.

It could be useful to get into the habit of using a calendar with your child. As well as tracking weekly events like football practice, see if your child can find their birthday and other important dates. To make the idea of using a calendar more appealing, your child could try making their own as a fun craft activity.

5. Try measuring activities

Talk together about standard units of measurement:

• centimetres and metres when measuring length
• kilograms and grams when measuring weight/mass
• litres and millilitres when measuring capacity/volume.

You could ask your child to identify standard units of measurement on cereal boxes, milk cartons, and shampoo bottles – measurements are everywhere around the house.

You can also measure using non-standard measures. How many paces is it across the room? How many paperclips long is this book? What about this one? Which is longer?

6. Bake together

Another great way to practise measurements is to give your child the opportunity to measure ingredients when you are cooking or baking.

Identify the capacity/volume or mass/weight of ingredients you are using, either using scales or less formal methods like cupfuls. Discuss how and why we measure different ingredients with different units.

Measurement Maths Worksheets for Year 1 (age 5-6)

At first, measuring is seen in terms of comparisons, using non-standard units (eg hand spans) saying which is longer, taller, heavier, lighter etc. There is also plenty of opportunity to get wet when measuring jugs of water! Encourage children to make sensible estimates related to length, mass and capacity. Later, common standard units of measurement can be introduced.

Measuring and comparing length

Measuring length using non standard units such as hand spans, moving to using a ruler.

Comparing heights.

Draw a ring round the taller thing in each pair of creatures.

Understanding the term, shorter.

Pages to really think about comparing lengths.

Comparing objects to blocks of cubes.

Comparing the lengths of creatures.

An introduction to the idea of a ruler for measuring.

Measuring length using non standard units such as paper clips.

Measuring using handspans - but mind your fingers!

Matchsticks are a great resource for early measuring activities.

Beginning to draw and measure other lines.

A first look at estimating length, using centimetres.

Introducing the metre as a standard unit.

Comparing with the help of a ruler.

Measure the length of an object with a ruler on the page. Please note the ruler is not accurate when printed.

Measure using a short ruler length.

Measuring and comparing capacity

Plenty of practical work needed, using terms such as half full, half empty etc. before introducing the litre.

Early stages of using the language of capacity: half full etc.

Plenty of bottles, cups and containers needed for this watery activity. Tip: if you want to stay dry use sand!

A saucepan and a selection of cups and mugs for this estimating and measuring activity.

Comparing buckets to see how much sand they hold.

Work out how many glasses of liquid each jug holds.

Which teapot holds the most?

Teapots are the subject of this set of capacity worksheets.

Comparing amounts to a litre and remember: a litre of water weighs a kilo.

Measuring and comparing mass/weight

Using scales to compare items using terms such as heavier than and lighter than. introducing the kilogram.

Comparing items on a pair of balance scales.

A set of balance scales and objects to measure needed for this activity.

Judging which object is going to be heavier.

Using knowledge gained from reading scales compare weights of objects.

Some tricky pages comparing weights of an object to a number of buttons.

Interpreting scales to decide which objects are heavier, lighter or equal in weight.

Comparing mass: ordering from the lightest to the heaviest

Scales are needed for this fun, practical activity.

Introducing the first metric unit of weight: the kilogram.

Thank you very much. I have just adapted it a little to add an estimation column and measuring the length of their hand. Great to do at home for maths in lockdown and easier than teaching in school with a whole class.
