Measuring units worksheets

This worksheet generator makes worksheets for conversion of various measuring units. You can choose which units to practice. The units you can choose from include inches, feet, yards, miles, ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons, ounces, pounds, millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, grams, kilograms, liters, and milliliters.

The main focus is to generate measurement problems for a typical U.S. math curriculum for grades 3-5 approximately. That is why only the most commonly used metric units are included (mm, cm, m, km, g, kg, L, ml).

After you have generated a measurement worksheet, you can print it from your browser, or SAVE it from the browser's "file" menu under File -> Save As. Also, to get another worksheet with different problems but using the same options, just refresh the page from your browser window.

All worksheets come with an answer key.  You can print the worksheet directly from your browser, or save it on disk using the "Save as" command of your browser.  If the problems on the worksheet don't fit the page or there is not enough working space, choose a smaller font, less cellpadding, or fewer columns of problems.

Use these quick links to generate worksheets for some common tasks. With the actual generator, you can customize them more.
