Reading scales and solving problems
A KS2 numeracy worksheet created by an educator to help your child practise reading scales and solving problems.
Calculating perimeters
To find the perimeter of a shape you must add up the lengths of each of the sides. Can your child calculate the perimeters of these common shapes?
Calculating volume
Volume is the amount of 3D space that an object occupies. Volume can be measured in cubes. Calculate the number of cubes in each shape to work out the volume.
Estimate volume
Look at these containers. Which do you think has the greatest volume? (Think about their real-life size by considering what is inside.) Put them in order from smallest to largest volume. Estimate the volume in cm3, then calculate the volume to see how accurate you were.
Convert between miles and kilometres
This marathon runner sees signs along the route to tell him how far he has run but they are in miles; can you help him convert them into kilometres (his preferred measurement)?
Calculating volume
Volume is the amount of 3D space that an object occupies. Volume can be measured in cubes. Calculate the number of cubes in each shape to work out the volume.
Y5 measures word problems
Can you work out the answers to these tricky word problems all about measurements?
Calculating area and perimeter
Can you work out the perimeters of these football pitches and then work out the area of each goal?
Area explained
Area is the name we use for the amount of space a surface or 2D shape takes up. You could measure the area of a small space like a table or a big space like the school field. We measure area in square units. Have a look at these shapes. Can you work out what area in cm2 they have?
Budgeting problem
Lorraine needs 1kg of rice. Will be it cheaper for her to buy a large box or two medium boxes or four small boxes? Can you help her work out her budgeting problem?
Volume of cubes and cuboids
The volume of a cube / cuboid = length x height x width. Look at the following shape pairs and estimate which has the bigger volume. Work out the volume with the formula; were you right?
Perimeter and area compared
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the outside of a 2D shape. Area is the amount of space a surface takes up. We measure area in square units. Can you answer these questions (it may help you to draw these shapes on centimetre-squared paper)?
Formulas for calculating area and volume of shapes
The quickest way to find the area of a 2D shape is to use a formula. Can you use the right formula to find the areas of these shapes? With 3D shapes we can also find the volume, which
means the quantity of space taken up by the shape. Can you use the right formula to find the volumes of these cuboids?
means the quantity of space taken up by the shape. Can you use the right formula to find the volumes of these cuboids?
Calculating the area of parallelograms and triangles
To work out the area of a triangle, we use the formula: area = ½ x base x height. See if you can calculate the areas of these triangles.
Comparing measures: greater than, smaller than and equal
Can you stick the correct symbol on these pictures? Then find (and draw) something in your house that is: taller than you; shorter than you; the same height as you.
Weight problems revision
It's going to be chips tonight if you can work out these potato weight problems!
Length problems revision
Let's revise some length problems. How long is this ribbon? Give your answer in metres and cm. How long would it be if it were cut in half?
Capacity problems revision
Can you answer these tricky capacity problems? You can always fill up a measuring jug with water to help.
Calculating the perimeter and area of irregular shapes
Once you know how to find the area of a rectangle, you can use this knowledge to find the area of irregular, compound shapes as long as they are made up of rectangles or squares. Can you calculate the area and perimeter of the shapes below?
Reading scales and solving problems
A KS2 numeracy worksheet created by an educator to help your child practise reading scales and solving problems.
Calculating perimeter
Imagine an ant crawling around the outside of a shape. The distance the ant walks is the shape’s perimeter. Can you measure the sides of these shapes by counting the squares and work out their perimeters?
Calculating area
Area is the name we use for the amount of space a surface takes up. You could measure the area of a small space like a table or a big space like the school field. We measure area in square units. Can you calculate the area of these shapes?
