Measurement tasks for Term 1 Week 5
Wednesday and Friday
WALT: Estimate, take actual measurements, work
out perimeters and areas of objects around the house.
If you wanted to measure the length of a pen what unit of measurement would you use?
Mm, cm or m? I will use cm
Estimate how long you think the pen would be 10cm
How long is it actually? 14cm
If you wanted to measure the height of a regular water bottle what unit of measurement would you use?
I will use cm or inches
Estimate the height of a water bottle 28cm
What is the actual height? 30cm
What unit of measurement would you use to measure the length of your bedroom? I will use meters
Estimate the length of your bedroom 5m
What is the actual length of your bedroom? 4m
Find the length of five objects in your house. Record what unit of measurement and tool you are
using to measure (e.g. a metre ruler or ruler, cm or mm)
A door in your house 2.10m I used a measure tape
A window 1.10m I used a measure tape
Closet door 2m I used a measure tape
Table 1.5m I used a measure tape
Your bed 1.85m I used a measure tape
Can you work out the area of the lid of your chromebook? (Imagine it was 2D).
What measurements will you need to take? L = 30cm W = 19cm
10cm x 30cm = 300cm 9 x 30cm = 270cm 300cm + 270cm = 5702cm
So the area of the netbook lid is 5702cm
Can you find the perimeter of your chromebook?
2cm x 30cm = 60cm 2cm x 19cm = 38cm 60cm + 8cm = 98cm
Can you work out the area of your bedroom? L x W L = 4m W = 3m
4m x 3m = 122m
Find out what the dimensions should be for a regular basketball court and a regular football court.
Basketball court = 28m by 15m Football field = 105m by 68m
Find the perimeter of both these courts
Football field - 2m x 105m = 210m 2m x 68m = 136m 210m + 136m = 346m
Basketball - 2m x 28m = 56m 2m x 15m = 30m 56m + 30m = 86m
Find the area of both these courts.
Football field - 100m x 60m = 6000m 100m x 8m = 800m 5m x 60m = 300m 5m x 8m = 40m
6000m + 800m + 300m + 40m = 71402m
Basketball - 20m x 10m = 200m 20m x 5m = 100m 8m x 10m = 80m 8m x 5m = 40m
200m + 100m + 80m + 40m = 4202m
Hint: Perimeter of a square = side x 4
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x length + 2 x width
Area of a square = side x side Area of a rectangle = length x width

Group Maths Work - TAHA
300 x 172
100 x 300 = 30000
70 x 300 = 21000
2 x 300 = 600
30000 + 21000 = 51000
51000 + 600 = 51600ml of water
51.5
1 jug = 2L
5 jugs = 10L
25 jugs = 50L
1 jug = 1.6L
26 jugs
