Regular practice with worksheets like this helps solidify these fundamental skills.
Learning Objectives
- ✓Estimate and measure length and height using non-standard units.
- ✓Compare and order objects by length and height.
- ✓Use standard units (centimetres) to measure length and height with a ruler.
- ✓Record measurements accurately using numbers and units (cm).
- ✓Solve simple problems involving length and height.
💡 How to Use This Worksheet
This worksheet is designed to reinforce Year 2 students' understanding of length and height measurement. It can be used as a classroom activity, homework assignment, or assessment tool after introducing the concepts of measuring length and height. Before starting, ensure students are familiar with using rulers and understand the concept of centimetres. For differentiation, provide students who are struggling with pre-drawn lines or objects to measure. For more advanced students, encourage them to estimate the length of objects around the classroom before measuring them. A common mistake is not aligning the ruler correctly at the zero mark; remind students to double-check this. As an extension activity, have students measure each other's height and record the results in a table.
