Functional Skills - Maths Metric and Imperial Measurements
Metric Units of Measurement What metric units do we use for measuring length? kilometre, metre, centimetre, millimetre What metric units do we use for measuring mass? tonne, kilogram, gram What metric units do we use for measuring capacity? litre, centilitre, millilitre
Metric Units How many mm in 1 m? How many cm in 1 m? How many m in 1 km? How many mg in 1 g? How many g in 1 kg? How many kg in 1 tonne? How many ml in 1 cl? How many cl in 1l?
Metric Units milli means thousandth centi means hundredth kilo means one thousand
Imperial units What are Imperial units of length? inch, foot/feet, yard, mile 12 inches = 1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yard, 1760 yards = 1 mile
Imperial units What are imperial units of mass? Ounce (oz), pound (lb), stone, hundredweight (cwt), ton 16 oz = 1 lb, 14 lb = 1 stone, 8 stones in 1 cwt, 160 stone = 1 ton 20 cwt = 1 ton
Imperial units What are imperial units of capacity? Pint, gallon 8 pints = 1 gallon
