What is measurement?
Measurement tells us how long (length), how heavy (weight) or how much a container holds (capacity). Every measurement has a number and a unit, like 15 cm, 3 kg or 2 l.
Think of a train 🚂 journey: the track is measured in kilometres, the luggage in kilograms and the water bottles in litres!
Units to know
| Measure | Units | Remember |
|---|---|---|
| 📏 Length | mm, cm, m, km | 1 m = 100 cm; 1 km = 1,000 m |
| ⚖️ Weight | g, kg | 1 kg = 1,000 g |
| 🥛 Capacity | ml, l | 1 l = 1,000 ml |
How to change units
- Big unit to small unit: multiply. 3 m = 3 × 100 = 300 cm.
- Small unit to big unit: divide. 4,000 g = 4,000 ÷ 1,000 = 4 kg.
- Change to the same unit before you add, subtract or compare.
- Always write the unit in your answer.

Maths Measurement Class 4
Measurement tells us how long, how heavy or how much something is. In Class 4, children measure length in millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres, weight in grams and kilograms, and capacity in millilitres and litres. They learn to choose the right unit, change one unit into another, and add, subtract, multiply and divide measures to solve word problems. This guide explains each idea in simple language for Class 4 students, parents and teachers. It goes with the Measurement worksheet for Class 4 on WitKnowLearn, which also gives an online quiz, online activities and interactive games on the same page.

- Choose the right unit to measure length, weight and capacity.
- Change bigger units into smaller units and back.
- Add and subtract measures with two units.
- Solve real-life measurement problems.
Learning outcomes
After this page a child can:
- Say that 2 km 500 m = 2,500 m.
- Change 4,000 g into 4 kg.
- Add 5 m 40 cm + 2 m 35 cm = 7 m 75 cm.

| Length | mm, cm, m, km | 1 cm = 10 mm; 1 m = 100 cm; 1 km = 1,000 m |
| Weight | g, kg | 1 kg = 1,000 g |
| Capacity | ml, l | 1 l = 1,000 ml |
Adding measures
| Step | Example: 3 kg 700 g + 2 kg 500 g |
|---|---|
| 1. Add the grams | 700 + 500 = 1,200 g = 1 kg 200 g |
| 2. Add the kilograms | 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 kg |
| Answer | 6 kg 200 g |

Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct |
|---|---|
| 1 km = 100 m | 1 km = 1,000 m. |
| 1 kg 50 g = 1,500 g | 1 kg 50 g = 1,050 g. |
| Adding measures in different units | Change to the same unit first. |
| Measuring milk in kilograms | Liquids are measured in litres and millilitres. |
Daily life
We measure every day: our height, cloth for a dress, vegetables at the market, milk and water at home, and the distance to school or to another city.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Measure things at home with a ruler and a measuring tape.
