About the "Using Units" Worksheet

Using Units is a comprehensive measurement skills worksheet designed to enhance students' understanding of various units and their practical applications. This interactive and printable worksheet is divided into two distinct sections, each focusing on different aspects of measurement. The first part challenges students to select the correct unit of measurement for specific objects or quantities, such as the weight of an apple, the length of an elephant, and the volume of a glass of cup. This section reinforces the importance of choosing appropriate units for different types of measurements.

The second part of the worksheet transitions to practical measurement tasks. Students are required to measure the length of lines in centimeters and determine the volume of water in measuring cups using milliliters. These hands-on exercises not only test students' ability to read measurements accurately but also reinforce the importance of including correct units in their answers. By combining conceptual understanding with practical application, this worksheet provides a well-rounded approach to learning and applying measurement skills in real-world contexts.

What will your child learn through this worksheet?

  • Understanding appropriate units for different types of measurements (weight, length, volume)

Common core standards covered

3.MD.A.2
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).1 Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.2
