Primary 3 Mathematics Quiz - Measurement (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Measurement (length, mass, volume)

---

Section A Answers (1 mark each)

1. 3000 m
   Method: 1 km = 1000 m, so 3 km = 3 × 1000 = 3000 m.
   Teaching note: Kilometres to metres means multiply by 1000.

2. 2 km 500 m
   Method: 1000 m = 1 km, so 2500 m = 2000 m + 500 m = 2 km 500 m.
   Common mistake: writing 25 km or 2.5 km without compound form.

3. 4000 g
   Method: 1 kg = 1000 g, so 4 kg = 4 × 1000 = 4000 g.

4. 3 kg 500 g
   Method: 3500 g = 3000 g + 500 g = 3 kg 500 g.

5. 2000 mL
   Method: 1 L = 1000 mL, so 2 L = 2 × 1000 = 2000 mL.

6. 4 L 500 mL
   Method: 4500 mL = 4000 mL + 500 mL = 4 L 500 mL.

7. 600 cm
   Method: 1 m = 100 cm, so 6 m = 6 × 100 = 600 cm.

8. 8 m 20 cm
   Method: 820 cm = 800 cm + 20 cm = 8 m 20 cm.

9. 9300 m
   Method: 9 km = 9000 m, plus 300 m = 9300 m.

10. 7250 g
    Method: 7 kg = 7000 g, plus 250 g = 7250 g.

Section B Answers (2 marks each)

11. 5400 m
    Working: 5 km = 5000 m; 5000 + 400 = 5400 m.
    Marks: 1 for converting km, 1 for total.

12. 6 km 80 m
    Working: 6080 m = 6000 m + 80 m = 6 km 80 m.
    Marks: 1 for km, 1 for m.

13. 3250 mL
    Working: 3 L = 3000 mL; 3000 + 250 = 3250 mL.
    Marks: 1 for L→mL, 1 for sum.

14. 2 kg 450 g
    Working: 2450 g = 2000 g + 450 g = 2 kg 450 g.
    Marks: 1 for kg, 1 for g.

15. 7 m 20 cm
    Working: 720 cm = 700 cm + 20 cm = 7 m 20 cm.
    Marks: 1 for m, 1 for cm.

16. 4 km 0 m (or 4 km)
    Working: Morning 2 km 650 m, afternoon 1 km 350 m.
    m: 650 + 350 = 1000 m = 1 km.
    km: 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 km.
    Marks: 1 for adding m and converting, 1 for adding km.

Section C Answers (3 marks each)

17. 2750 g left
    Step 1: 4 kg = 4000 g (1 mark).
    Step 2: 4000 – 1250 = 2750 g (1 mark for subtraction, 1 mark final).
    Teaching: Convert to same unit before subtracting.

18. 3 L 750 mL remained
    Step 1: 6 L 500 mL = 6500 mL (1 mark).
    Step 2: 6500 – 2750 = 3750 mL (1 mark).
    Step 3: 3750 mL = 3 L 750 mL (1 mark).
    Note: Answer must be in L and mL as asked.

19. 3600 m
    Step 1: 1 km 200 m = 1200 m (1 mark).
    Step 2: 3 rounds → 3 × 1200 = 3600 m (2 marks: 1 for multiply, 1 for answer).
    Concept: Repeated addition = multiplication.

20. 5 m 30 cm altogether
    Step 1: Siti = 2 m 40 cm = 240 cm (1 mark).
    Step 2: Sister = 240 + 150 = 390 cm (1 mark).
    Step 3: Total = 240 + 390 = 630 cm = 6 m 30 cm? Wait, recheck:
    Actually 2 m 40 cm = 240 cm. Sister bought 150 cm more → 240 + 150 = 390 cm.
    Altogether = 240 + 390 = 630 cm = 6 m 30 cm.
    Correction: Answer is 6 m 30 cm (1 mark).
    Common mistake: misreading "more than her" as total sister only.
