Year 4 Measurement Worksheets

We've packed quite a lot into these Metric Measures worksheets! Students progress from basic measuring with rulers to comparing different units and solving measurement word problems. We have included concepts like adding and subtracting litres and millilitres, measuring perimeter in millimetres, using metric units, and more. The hands-on activities (surprisingly popular with our test classes) include measuring classroom objects, comparing weights, and working with capacity using familiar containers. These worksheets build confidence through structured practice that mirrors real KS2 assessment expectations.

Metric Measures isn't just a maths topic—it’s a life skill that pops up in all sorts of places. We’ve seen how students light up when they realise they’re using Metric Measures in science experiments, art lessons, and even at home while cooking. That real-world connection boosts motivation and helps them see maths as something meaningful and useful every day.

Real-life learning examples include:

• Science activities: Tracking plant growth, recording temperature changes, and measuring liquids in experiments

• Design and technology: Accurately measuring materials, following recipe steps, and building projects

• Art lessons: Mixing paint in specific amounts or scaling up drawings

• PE lessons: Measuring jump distances, timing races, or recording personal bests

• At home: Helping weigh ingredients for dinner, understanding quantities on packaging, or comparing prices while shopping

• Everyday problem-solving: Figuring out if a table will fit in the room or how much paint is needed for a wall
