4th Grade Math: Length Games

Understanding the conversion of different units within the same system, comparing by differentiating the size, and estimating length, weight, capacity, and temperature are best by practice.

Fun Learning of Units of Measurement Within the System

Kids in the 4th Grade learn relative sizes of measurement units in one unit system.

For instance, they must know the relation between: 

• Centimeter, meter, and a kilometer.
• Gram, ounce, and pound.
• Liter and milliliter.
• Second, minute and hour.

They learn to express measurement in a larger unit (km) or smaller unit(cm). Kids must understand that 1000 meters is one kilometer and their home is 3 km or 3000 meters away from school. They must have conversion tables and know how to read them.

Five Interactive Online Games to Build Interest of Kids in Conversion of Units

Compare the Units of Length

Exciting interactive online games and more practice for 4th Grade kids to grasp length measurement concepts is better for learning.

Watch them compare intelligently to point out the correct answer.

Order the Units of Length

Children gain the ability to solve problems as they learn to place the various units of measurement like a millimeter, centimeter, meter, etc., in an ordered sequence.

Compare- Miles, Feet, Inches, and Yards

In the past, you would have put a set of units of measurement in front of your kids and asked them which one is larger - only to get a blank stare. The game lays a strong foundation enabling them to convert customary units with efficiency.

Convert Units of Length With the Help of a Table

Word problems are a little too much for 4th-grade kids to handle; the fun practice helps them understand the concept better to handle conversions with comfort to complete the conversion table.

Correctly Fill the Value of Length After Conversion

Kids need to have an understanding of length measurement concepts to fill the correct value after converting them. By filling in the correct answer, the child now shows you that she has mastered the concept in length measurement and is ready to learn more advanced concepts.

Difficulty in Learning Estimation and Conversion of Lengths for Kids

Identifying the unit as belonging to a particular system takes time and practice. That requires patience and slow learning. Kids get impatient and confused and mismatch the units of measurement. Repeated failures can take away the fun and joy of learning.
