'Convert Between Standard Units of Mass' worksheet

Key stage:  KS 2

Year:  Year 6 Maths worksheets

Curriculum topic:   Measurement

Curriculum subtopic:   Convert Between Standard Units

Difficulty level:  

Worksheet Overview

In this activity, you will need to remember the standard conversion of metric measures for mass (weight).

Remember,

1 kg = 1000 g

1000 kg = 1 tonne

 

For example

To convert from grams to kgs

4000 g = _____ kg

There are 1000 g in a kg so I need to divide 4000 by 1000

4000 g ÷ 1000 = 4 kg

 

To convert from kg to grams

30 kg = _____ g

There are 1000 g in a kg so I need to multiply 30 by 1000

30 kg x 1000 = 30,000 g

 

To convert kg to tonnes

8000 kg = _____ tonnes

There are 1000 kg in a tonne, so I need to divide 8000 by 1000

8000 kg ÷ 1000 = 8 t

 

To convert tonnes to kg

6.56 t = _____ kg

There are 1000 kg in a tonne, so I need to multiply 6.56 by 1000

6.56 t x 1000 = 6560 kg
