Measurements are everywhere. Anything can be measured using the appropriate measuring device. With this idea in mind, we can assume that measurements can be found in different situations of everyday experiences.
See the fact file below for more information on the word problems on measurement or alternatively, you can download our 30-page Measurement and Data: Word Problems on Measurement CCSS 4.MD.2 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.
Key Facts & Information
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
- At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to apply the knowledge learned about converting units of measurements in word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:
- When dealing with word problems on measurements, take note of the following:
- Check whether the problem involves length, distance, time, mass, etc.
- Double-check the units used and remember the necessary conversions.
- Remember that you can only solve measurements with the same unit.
- Label your final answer with the correct unit of measurement.
THEORY:
- Measurements are everywhere. Anything can be measured using the appropriate measuring device. With this idea in mind, we can assume that measurements can be found in different situations of everyday experiences. Therefore, we can either add, subtract, multiply, or divide them.
- Solving word problems on measurements means:
- understanding the situation and story first
- identifying the measurements involved
- identifying the unit system and checking if the conversion is needed
- knowing what operation is needed to solve
- solving the equations and labeling your final answer
- Consider this word problem:
- Patrick joined a 1-kilometer fun run. After running for some time, he got tired and stopped exactly 387 meters away from the finish line. How far has he already run?
- First, understand the story.
- We know that Patrick ran a certain distance in a 1 kilometer fun run
- but stopped running with 387 m left.
- Then, we identify the measurements involved.
- We know that 1 km and 387 m are the measurements stated.
- Next, identify the unit system and check for conversion.
- Since km and m are used, we know that lengths are being measured
- using the metric system. Converting, 1 km = 1000 m.
- Afterward, know what operation we will use.
- Since we have a whole, which is 1000 m, and 387 m as the distance left, we need to find their difference in order to know the rest of the distance
- We will use subtraction.
- Finally, we solve and label the final answer.
- 1000 m β 387 m = 613 m
- Patrick already ran for a distance of 613 meters.
