What this worksheet teaches
- Understand that a larger unit gives a smaller count for the same object.
- Read simple scales and rulers where not every mark is numbered.
- Measure length in standard units - centimetres and inches - to the nearest whole unit.
- Choose a sensible unit and tool for what is being measured (ruler, tape measure, scale).
How to use this worksheet
Do the 'how much longer' questions with two real objects and the ruler in front of you the first time. These questions are measurement plus subtraction, and children who can do each separately still trip when the two are combined. Once they have measured and subtracted physically, the paper version follows quickly.
Sample questions from this worksheet
- Which is longer: pencil or marker?
- Which is shorter: 10 cm or 9 cm?
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a tape measure and a scale for this worksheet?
No - the worksheet stands alone. If you have them, measuring one or two real objects afterwards makes the tool-choice questions considerably more concrete.
Why does a bigger unit give a smaller number?
Because fewer large units fit into the same length. Measuring one object twice - first in centimetres, then in hand spans - makes this land immediately and heads off a very common Grade 2 misconception.
My child measures accurately but forgets to write the unit. Does it matter?
Yes, and it is worth insisting on early. A bare '14' cannot be checked or compared. Asking them to say the number and unit aloud before writing fixes the habit within a few sessions.
