 Measuring Time
 Reading an Analog clock:
 The big, dark hand tells us the
minute.
 The small, dark hand tells us the hour.
 The long, red hand tells us the second.

Second hand
The shorter of the two hands on
Hour hand
this clock is the hour hand. The
minute hand is longer

Minute hand

 Measuring Time
There are three hands in the clock
 Hour hand of the clock
 Minute hand of the clock
 Second’s hand of the clock
 Each movement of Second’s hand marking Passing Seconds.
 You can count these marking of the clock , you find there are
60 markings. After these 60 markings minute’s hand marks
making a minute. So you can say that
1 minute = 60 seconds
 After 60 marking of minute’s hand makes 1 hour .

 Reading an Analog clock:
What time does this clock show?
 The hour hand is between the 9 and
the 10.
 The minutes can be counted by fives
using the numbers on the clock
beginning at the 12. i.e., 30 min
The time shown is 9:30, or “half-
past Nine.”

In this clock the hour hand is between 10 to

11 . And the minutes can be counted by fives
using the number on the clock beginning at
the 12 is 9 min , also second hands is at 12

 AM and PM
 “AM” stands for the Latin phrase Ante Meridiem
 which means “before noon”
 “PM” stands for Post Meridiem :
 Means “after noon.”

 What is Noon and Midnight?

 A.M. and P.M. start immediately after Midnight and Noon
(Midday) respectively.
 This means that 00:00 A.M. or 00:00 P.M. (or 12:00 A.M.
and 12:00 P.M.) have no meaning.
 Every day starts precisely at midnight and A.M. starts
immediately after that point in time e.g. 00:00:01 A.M.

 Measuring Length
 Length is the size of a straight line, distance, or straight
edge on an object.
 We measure length with a ruler. Each ruler is
divided into units. When using a
ruler, line up the edge of the ruler with the start of the
line or side you are measuring and read the line where
the side or object ends.

So this rectangle is
4 6/10 of a cm long or 4.6
cm long.

 Units for Length
There are two major units for measurements:

Metric units are used all over the world.

The base unit is the meter. All other units

are meters multiplied or divided by a power
of 10.

1 centimeter (cm)=10 millimeters (mm)

1 meter (m)=100 cm=1000 mm
1 kilometer=1000 m=100,000 cm=1,000,000
mm

 Customary Units for Length
U.S. customary units are only used in the U.S.
 The smallest unit is the inch, but on a ruler, an inch can
be divided up into smaller pieces—halves, quarters,
eighths, sixteenths, even thirty-seconds!
 1 foot (ft.) = 12 inches (in.)
 3 ft. = 1 yard (yd.)
 1760 yds. = 1 mile (mi).
 5,280 ft. = 1 mi.
 1 in. = 2.54 cm
 1 ft. 0.305 m
= 0.914 m
 1 yd.= 1.61 km
 1 mi.=

 Reporting Measurements
• Using significant figures

• Report what is known

with certainty

• Add ONE digit of

uncertainty
(estimation)

 Measuring
Area
Area tells us how many squares you can lay out on a flat
surface like a shape.
To find the area of a
 Rectangle: Multiply the length of the object by its width.
 Triangle: Multiply the length of the triangle’s base by its
height.
 Different Shape: Cut the shape into rectangles and triangles.
Add the areas of these shapes to get the total area of the shape.

Units: You are measuring area in squares, so your units must

also be squares—square inches (sq. in.), square meters (m2), etc.
 Basically take the units that the length was measured in and let us
know that they are now squares.

 Capacity & Volume
 Capacity is how much you can fill a space with. We
usually talk about capacity with empty containers.
 Volume is how much space an object takes up. We talk
about volume with both solid objects (no empty
spaces) and with empty containers.
 One way to measure the capacity or volume of an object is
by using the lengths of the height and the sides of the base
to find the volume of the solid.
 Another way to measure volume is to find out how many
cubes of the same size you can fit into the object.
 The other way you can measure the capacity or volume of
an object is to find out how much liquid you can fill it with.

 Measuring Liquids
 We use measuring cups to measure liquids. When
using a measuring cup, make sure you hold the level of
the water in your line of sight or crouch down until the
water line is in your line of sight and read the line that
that water goes up to.

1 cuP (c.)=8 f lu id
Ounces (fl. Oz.)
2 c.=1 Pint (Pt.)
2 Pts.=1 quar t
(qt.) 4 q ts.=1

 Measuring Liquids
• Like with metric units for length, all units are the base
unit (in this case the liter) multiplied or divided by a
power of 10.
• The main units you will use in measuring liquids will be
milliliters and liters.
1,000 milliliter (mL)= 1 liter (L)
A little connection with volume of solids:
1mL=1 cubic centimeter (cc)

 • In the United States, liquid measurement is not only
used for liquids such as water and milk, it is also used
when measuring other ingredients such as flour, sugar,
shortening, butter, and spices.

 Measuring Weight
 The smallest unit is the ounce, although it can also be
broken into smaller pieces or fractions of an ounce.

16 ounces (oz.)=1 pound (lb.)

2000 lbs=1 ton (T.)
 The base unit is the gram, and all other units of weight in
the metric system are grams multiplied or divided by
powers of 10.
1000 milligrams (mg)= 1 gram (g)
1000 g=1 kilogram (kg)
1 Oz=28.35 g
