Measurement and Time (Class 1)

What this worksheet covers

This is a fifteen-question practice worksheet on measurement and time for Class 1, written to the pattern of the SOF International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO). It carries 18 marks and is designed to be attempted in 30 minutes, split across three sections — Longer, Heavier, Fuller, Telling the Time and Achievers Section. Every question is multiple choice with exactly one correct option, and every one comes with a fully worked solution rather than just an answer key — so a child who gets one wrong can see where the reasoning went astray instead of only learning that it did.

Skills your child practises

• Applied problem-solving on measurement and time at Class 1 level
• Working accurately against a time limit, as the real paper demands
• Longer, Heavier, Fuller questions in the olympiad format
• Telling the Time questions in the olympiad format
• Achievers Section questions in the olympiad format
• Reading worked solutions to find the step that went wrong

Sample questions from this worksheet

A preview of what's inside Measurement and Time (Class 1) — the PDF has the full set, and every question comes with a worked solution like these.

1. 1. Which of these is the longest?

   • AA traincorrect
   • BA pencil
   • CA spoon
   • DA pin
   Solution: A train is far longer than a pencil, a spoon or a pin.

2. 2. What time does the clock show?

   • A3 o'clockcorrect
   • B12 o'clock
   • C9 o'clock
   • D6 o'clock
   Solution: The short hand is the hour hand and the long hand is the minute hand. Here the long minute hand points to 12 and the short hour hand points to 3, so the time is 3 o'clock.

3. 3. Ravi's pencil is 8 units long and Sita's pencil is 5 units long. How many units longer is Ravi's pencil?

   • A2 units
   • B3 unitscorrect
   • C4 units
   • D13 units
   Solution: 'How much longer' means we find the difference.
   8 − 5 = 3 units.
