Primary 3 Mathematics Quiz - Measurement

Answer Key

Section A: Length (Questions 1–5)

1. 15 cm

Working: 30 cm − 15 cm = 15 cm

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer. No working required for 1-mark recall question.

2. 50 cm

Working: 2 m = 200 cm; 200 cm ÷ 4 = 50 cm

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer. Accept 0.5 m but cm is preferred.

3. 95 cm, 1 m 5 cm, 1 m 20 cm, 150 cm

Working: Convert all to cm:

  • 1 m 20 cm = 120 cm
  • 95 cm = 95 cm
  • 1 m 5 cm = 105 cm
  • 150 cm = 150 cm

Order: 95 cm < 105 cm < 120 cm < 150 cm

Marking: 1 mark for fully correct order. No partial marks.

4. m

Reasoning: A door is tall — about 2 metres. 2 cm would be tiny (about the width of a finger).

Marking: 1 mark for circling "m".

5. 800 m

Working: 450 m + 350 m = 800 m

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer.

Section B: Mass (Questions 6–10)

6. 15 kg

Working: 5 kg × 3 = 15 kg

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer.

7. 2 kg 50 g, 2050 g, 2 kg 500 g, 2500 g

Working: Convert all to grams:

  • 2 kg 500 g = 2500 g
  • 2050 g = 2050 g
  • 2 kg 50 g = 2050 g
  • 2500 g = 2500 g

Order: 2050 g (= 2 kg 50 g) < 2500 g (= 2 kg 500 g)

Note: 2050 g and 2 kg 50 g are equal, so either order between them is acceptable.

Marking: 1 mark for fully correct order. Accept either order for the two equal values.

8. 3800 g

Working: 3 kg = 3000 g; 3000 g + 800 g = 3800 g

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer. Common mistake: forgetting to convert kg to g first.

9. g

Reasoning: A textbook weighs a few hundred grams. 400 kg would be impossibly heavy (like a car).

Marking: 1 mark for circling "g".

10. 4000 g

Working: 4 kg 200 g − 200 g = 4 kg = 4000 g

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer. Common mistake: subtracting 200 g from 200 g and getting 0, then writing 4 kg 0 g without converting.

Section C: Volume of Liquid (Questions 11–15)

11. 1000 mℓ

Working: 1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer.

12. 8 cups

Working: 2 ℓ = 2000 mℓ; 2000 mℓ ÷ 250 mℓ = 8 cups

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer. Common mistake: dividing 2 by 250 without converting units first.

13. 1 ℓ 50 mℓ, 1050 mℓ, 1 ℓ 500 mℓ, 1500 mℓ

Working: Convert all to millilitres:

  • 1 ℓ 500 mℓ = 1500 mℓ
  • 1050 mℓ = 1050 mℓ
  • 1 ℓ 50 mℓ = 1050 mℓ
  • 1500 mℓ = 1500 mℓ

Order: 1050 mℓ (= 1 ℓ 50 mℓ) < 1500 mℓ (= 1 ℓ 500 mℓ)

Note: 1050 mℓ and 1 ℓ 50 mℓ are equal; 1500 mℓ and 1 ℓ 500 mℓ are equal. Accept either order within each equal pair.

Marking: 1 mark for fully correct order. Accept either order for equal values.

14. ℓ

Reasoning: A water cooler bottle holds about 10 litres. 10 mℓ would be only about two teaspoons.

Marking: 1 mark for circling "ℓ".

15. 10 ℓ 0 mℓ (or 10 ℓ)

Working: 5 ℓ 300 mℓ + 4 ℓ 700 mℓ

  • Litres: 5 + 4 = 9 ℓ
  • Millilitres: 300 + 700 = 1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
  • Total: 9 ℓ + 1 ℓ = 10 ℓ

Marking: 1 mark for correct answer. Accept "10 ℓ" or "10 ℓ 0 mℓ".

Section D: Word Problems on Measurement (Questions 16–20)

16. (a) 4 m 20 cm (b) 60 cm

Working (a): 2 m 40 cm + 1 m 80 cm

  • Metres: 2 + 1 = 3 m
  • Centimetres: 40 + 80 = 120 cm = 1 m 20 cm
  • Total: 3 m + 1 m 20 cm = 4 m 20 cm

Working (b): 2 m 40 cm − 1 m 80 cm

  • Convert: 2 m 40 cm = 1 m 140 cm
  • 1 m 140 cm − 1 m 80 cm = 60 cm

Marking: 1 mark for each correct answer. Award 1 mark if only part (a) is correct. Common mistake in (b): subtracting 40 − 80 and getting confused with borrowing.

17. (a) 8 kg 100 g (b) 3 kg 900 g

Working (a): 4 kg 350 g + 3 kg 750 g

  • Kilograms: 4 + 3 = 7 kg
  • Grams: 350 + 750 = 1100 g = 1 kg 100 g
  • Total: 7 kg + 1 kg 100 g = 8 kg 100 g

Working (b): 12 kg − 8 kg 100 g

  • Convert: 12 kg = 11 kg 1000 g
  • 11 kg 1000 g − 8 kg 100 g = 3 kg 900 g

Marking: 1 mark for each correct answer. Award 1 mark if only part (a) is correct.

18. (a) 4 ℓ 250 mℓ (b) 3 ℓ 750 mℓ

Working (a): 2 ℓ 450 mℓ + 1 ℓ 800 mℓ

  • Litres: 2 + 1 = 3 ℓ
  • Millilitres: 450 + 800 = 1250 mℓ = 1 ℓ 250 mℓ
  • Total: 3 ℓ + 1 ℓ 250 mℓ = 4 ℓ 250 mℓ

Working (b): 8 ℓ − 4 ℓ 250 mℓ

  • Convert: 8 ℓ = 7 ℓ 1000 mℓ
  • 7 ℓ 1000 mℓ − 4 ℓ 250 mℓ = 3 ℓ 750 mℓ

Marking: 1 mark for each correct answer. Award 1 mark if only part (a) is correct.

19. 2500 g

Working: Mass of 1 storybook: 1 kg 500 g ÷ 3 = 1500 g ÷ 3 = 500 g Mass of 5 storybooks: 500 g × 5 = 2500 g

Marking: 2 marks for correct answer with working. Award 1 mark for correct method (finding mass of 1 book) even if final multiplication is wrong. Common mistake: dividing 1500 by 5 instead of by 3 first.

20. (a) 2 ℓ 400 mℓ (b) 800 mℓ

Working (a): 1 ℓ 750 mℓ + 650 mℓ

  • 1 ℓ 750 mℓ + 650 mℓ = 1 ℓ 1400 mℓ = 2 ℓ 400 mℓ

Working (b): 3 ℓ 200 mℓ − 2 ℓ 400 mℓ

  • Convert: 3 ℓ 200 mℓ = 2 ℓ 1200 mℓ
  • 2 ℓ 1200 mℓ − 2 ℓ 400 mℓ = 800 mℓ

Marking: 1 mark for each correct answer. Award 1 mark if only part (a) is correct. Common mistake in (b): not borrowing correctly when 200 < 400.
