Measuring Capacity and Volume - Year 2
In this Year 2 teaching resource pupils are taught to choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure capacity and volume. They are also required to compare and order capacity and volume and record the results using >, < and = (as per the Year 2 Programme of Study – Measurement). Content includes:
What is capacity and volume explanation
Capacity and volume units of measurement explanation
Measuring volume activities with accompanying worksheets
Comparing and ordering capacity and volume activities with accompanying worksheets
As with all our PowerPoint teaching resources, ‘Measuring Capacity and Volume - Year 2’ is completely editable so that teachers can adapt, alter and revise it as much or as little as required.

A two page worksheet with four questions to interpret an angle from a diagram of a protractor (in degrees), four questions to determine the degree and type of angle (i.e. acute or obtuse) and three questions regarding student's knowledge of obtuse, acute and right angles (and their ability to calculate them from reading a protractor).
**Answers can be filled in on sheet or pictures of protractors & questions can be stuck in books & answered there.
This is resource contains an exercise that gets the children to practice using a ruler; as well as a presentation on converting units of measure.
The worksheet asks students to measure the lines with their rulers. They then must convert from cm to mm. As an extension at the end, they are required to draw their own lines based on a length given in centimetres.
The presentation goes through how to convert from mm to cm, and from cm to m. There are exercised along the way to get the children practicing.
This lesson is suited for a Year 4 class or could be used for revision with Year 5.
The answers to the lengths are also included.
A complete lesson on how to use a protractor properly. Includes lots of large, clear, animated examples that make this fiddly topic a lot easier to teach. Designed to come after pupils have been introduced to acute, obtuse and reflex angles and they can already estimate angles.
Activities included:
Starter:
A nice set of problems where pupils have to judge whether given angles on a grid are acute, 90 degrees or obtuse.
The angles are all very close or equal to 90 degrees, so pupils have to come up with a way (using the gridlines) to decide.
Main:
An extended set of examples, intended to be used as mini whiteboard questions, where an angle is shown and then a large protractor is animated, leaving pupils to read off the scale and write down the angle. The range of examples includes measuring all angle types using either the outer or inner scale. It also includes examples of subtle ‘problem’ questions like the answer being between two dashes on the protractor’s scale or the lines of the angle being too short to accurately read off the protractor’s scale. These are all animated to a high standard and should help pupils avoid developing any misconceptions about how to use a protractor.
Three short worksheets of questions for pupils to consolidate. The first is simple angle measuring, with accurate answers provided. The second and third offer more practice but also offer a deeper purpose - see the cover image.
Instructions for a game for pupils to play in pairs, basically drawing random lines to make an angle, both estimating the angle, then measuring to see who was closer.
Plenary:
A spot the mistake animated question to address misconceptions.
As always, printable worksheets and answers included.
Please do review if you buy, the feedback is appreciated!
A page of protractors with a variety of acute, obtuse and right angles for pupils measure. A great way to introduce protractors and how to use them. This worksheet could easily be used in both Upper and Lower KS2.
This is an introductory practical lesson to demonstrate how pupils measure time and teaches them the importance of accuracy.
This resource pack contains: A PPT (14 slides) and handouts (2 sheets) .
Included in this resource is two of our timers complete with MUSIC.
Activities include:
Starter Task: Thinking Skills question
Activity on on recording time digitally. Pupils will find out when completing the challenges that they won’t be accurate. Therefore, they will want to repeat challenge reinforcing the need for repeat experiments to find averages.
Experiment on measuring different times and two practical challenges.
Plenary (Exit task) : Think, Pair Share- Please note…
This Exit Task/Plenary is designed to draw out the findings of the measuring time activities. These being that the children will learn that using a stop click to seconds and hundredths of seconds will give them a precise time. However, this is not 100% accurate due to human error (reaction times). You should discuss how to improve on accuracy ( use of repeats and find an average).
In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .

Fun revision activities for converting between different units of measure: 6 Hidden Word / Spot the Mistake Puzzles Worksheets (and solutions) for Upper KS2 Maths / Numeracy (especially Year 5 and 6 - Y5 / Y6) and early KS3 (and equivalents). Conversion of metric units only: millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, millilitres, litres, grams and kilograms. All puzzles are in PDF format. Early finishers love being challenged by them plus they make great collaborative starters too!
Includes a puzzle for each of the list below:
Converting Length (one-star, less challenging version)
Converting Length (two-star, more challenging)
Converting Volume / Capacity
Converting Weight (Mass)
Ordering Measurements
Converting Measurements for Mental Addition and Subtraction calculations
An engaging alternative to standard worksheets, these no-prep measurement puzzles make ideal starter, early finisher, revision or homework activities. They can be completed individually or in pairs / groups. They are similar to codebreaker puzzles, with a maths-related word to be revealed after converting, ordering, adding or subtracting the measurement. Each puzzle contains a grid. Pupils circle any boxes containing errors, then put together the letters from these boxes to reveal a maths word.
Pupils often forget or avoid checking their own work for errors so it’s great to get them carefully checking in these puzzles. Spotting common errors may help them remember to check their own work and help them avoid common errors themselves.
The range of puzzles in this resource is ideal for differentiation and / or to cater for a range of groups and classes across Key Stage 2 (KS2) and some early KS3. Hopefully they'll be helpful for your teaching over many years.
I hope your students enjoy using these puzzles. I would be grateful for a review if you get a spare moment.
A Mega Bundle of 12 of my hidden word puzzle packs, including this one, is available for a huge saving:
Maths Hidden Word Puzzles MEGA BUNDLE
Please visit FullShelf Resources for engaging, time-saving printables, activities and presentations to plan Primary (and some Secondary) Literacy / English, Maths / Numeracy and French lessons.
The worksheets describe about measurement. Worksheets include fill in the blanks, circle the right thing, cut and paste activity and many more things for revision in class.
This is a presentation using the angle family; Mr Obtuse, Mrs. Right, Baby Acute and Reflex Rex! It is a fun way to help students remember the different types of angles. The last slide contains a quick review of what they learned. The worksheet contains 6 different angles. The children must first name the angles. Then, estimate their size and finally measure them using a protractor. I would recommend using these resources with Year 4 or Year 5.

Compare, describe and solve practical problems for: lengths and heights (for example, long/short, longer/shorter, tall/short, double/half)
White Rose Small Steps
Compare lengths and heights
Measure length (1)
Measure length (2)
The worksheets are designed to enable the pupils to achieve the following learning outcomes:
Pupils use the following terms to describe and compare length and height - long, longer, longest; short, shorter, shortest; tall, taller, tallest, small, smaller, smallest.
Pupils use non-standard units such as cubes, hands and straws to measure the length and height of objects.
Pupils recognise that different non-standard units are more suitable for measuring the length and height of different objects.
Pupils understand that non-standard units should be exactly in line with the object to get an accurate measurement.
Pupils measure the lengths of objects using a ruler.
Pupils measure objects from the 0 on the ruler.
Pupils use reasoning and problem solving skills to work out solutions to measurement problems.
