About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 7 problems measuring the length of a real object to the nearest centimeter.
This worksheet gives children real objects to measure with a centimeter ruler - a crayon, a key, a feather, a toothbrush. Each object is drawn at the length the answer key states, so a child laying a real ruler over the page gets the same result, and the lengths vary from sheet to sheet so the objects have to be measured rather than remembered. Reading a scale is the second half of the standard, after choosing the right instrument. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
Student objectives
- Measure the length of an object with a centimeter ruler.
- Line the end of an object up with zero before reading the other end.
- Read a length to the nearest whole centimeter.
Everyday practice
- Measure a pencil, a spoon and a key with a real ruler and write down each length.
- Find something in the room that is about 10 centimeters long, then check with a ruler.
- Line objects up shortest to longest, then measure to see if you were right.
