About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 7 problems measuring the length of a real object to the nearest quarter inch.
This worksheet gives children real objects to measure with an inch ruler, reading each length to the nearest quarter inch. The quarter is what makes this harder than measuring to the half - the mark is neither a number nor the obvious halfway point, and the ruler is ticked in eighths as a real ruler is, so finding the quarter among them is the skill. Each object is drawn at the length the key states, so a real ruler laid over the page gives the same answer. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
Student objectives
- Measure the length of an object to the nearest quarter inch.
