Measuring Objects
Measuring Objects with Paper Clips
Use paper clips, a non-standard measuring tool, to measure real-life objects. These length worksheets introduce kindergarten and grade 1 kids to measuring using familiar objects.
Measuring Objects with Blocks or Cubes
Transform blocks into measuring tools. Count the blocks stacked blocks alongside toothbrushes, trophies, and other objects, and find how tall or long the object is.
Measuring Objects with a Ruler | Metric Units
Let's go on a measuring adventure and develop ruler-reading skills! How many centimeters long is the cable? How long is the pencil? Record the length in centimeters.
Measuring Objects with a Ruler | Customary Units
Ready, set, and measure length in these printable worksheets! A comb and a makeup brush are racing to see who is the longest. Record the measurement of each object in inches.
Measuring and Comparing Lengths
Whether it is a wrench or a paintbrush, get 2nd grade and 3rd grade kids to measure and compare the lengths of real-world objects and answer questions.
Measuring Line Segments
Measuring Line Segment: With Ruler | Metric Units
Each line segment has a ruler positioned next to it. Count the whole centimeters between the start and endpoints. Create line segments with specified lengths.
Measuring Line Segment: With Ruler | Customary Units
Sharpen your skills with these length worksheets. Use the ruler beside each line segment to measure in inches. Draw line segments to exact specifications.
Measuring and Drawing Line Segments | Metric Units
Align the ruler's zero mark with the segment's start and record the length. Apply the specific measurement, mark the points, and draw a line segment between them.
Measuring and Drawing Line Segments | Customary
Equip grade 4 and grade 5 kids with the magical tool to measure each line segment in these PDF worksheets. Let them also draw line segments of specified lengths.
Reading Rulers
Let's go on a centimeter safari and accurately interpret the pointer's position on the ruler. Is it pointing to 3 cm or 5 cm? Write the correct measurement.
Reading Rulers in Centimeters and Millimeters
Get ready to zoom into the tiny world of millimeters. Read the subdivisions within centimeters and accurately determine the pointer's cm and mm positions.
Reading Rulers | Customary Units
Task kids with identifying the numbered markings representing whole inches indicated by the pointer on each ruler in these reading ruler worksheets.
Measuring Bars
Measuring the Length of Bars in Customary Units
Go beyond zero and measure from any point on the ruler. If the bar is between 5 and 10 inches, the difference between the two points is the bar’s length.
Measuring the Length of Bars in Metric Units
Note the initial position of the bar on the ruler and the endpoint. Subtract the starting point measurement from the endpoint measurement to determine the length.
Reading Tapes
Reading Measuring Tapes in Customary Units
Read and interpret customary units on a long measuring tape while determining the length of the colorful ribbons in these measuring length worksheets.
Reading Measuring Tapes in Metric Units
We're on a mission to measure the ribbons in metric units with the measuring tape, helping kids understand the importance of accurate measurement in the real world.
Reading Measuring Tapes in Feet and Inches
Measure and convert between inches and feet. Measure bars with a measuring tape, learn to convert inches to feet and inches, and discover the magic of 12 inches in a foot.
Estimating Length
Identifying Suitable Units of Measurement
Invite kids to be unit detectives! Help them determine which measurement unit is appropriate to measure tall buildings like lighthouses or shorter objects like pencils.
Guess the length of objects without measuring them! How tall is the building? How long is the wrench? Predict and then measure in these estimating length worksheets.
