Length Word Problems (3)

Overview:

Students solve a set of word problems involving length and measurement. These problems encourage critical thinking and the application of measurement concepts to real-world situations. Designed for middle and upper primary students.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply knowledge of length and measurement to solve word problems.
• Convert between different units of length (mm, cm, m, km) as needed.
• Develop problem-solving skills through practical, real-world examples.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a set of word problems that involve measuring length in various contexts. For example, one problem may ask how many centimetres are in a certain number of metres, or how much longer one object is compared to another. Students will use their understanding of length and the metric system to solve each problem, and where necessary, convert between units of measurement. This activity strengthens both their measurement and problem-solving skills.
