This simple worksheet gives your students hands-on experience with using informal units to measure the length of common classroom materials.
Compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning
Measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end
Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols
Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, metres and centimetres
Measures, records, compares and estimates volumes and capacities using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates internal volumes (capacities) and volumes using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, as well as metres and centimetres
Describes, compares and orders durations of events, and reads half- and quarter-hour time
Creates and recognises halves, quarters and eighths as part measures of a whole length
Measure and compare the lengths, masses and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
Some students may benefit from working in a small teacher-led group to assist with correct measuring.
Have students cut and paste the objects into order from the shortest to longest.
