Measurement Worksheets

Sort a scattered group into categories and count each one — with pictures, or with geometric shapes.

Compare two pictured objects side by side and circle the longer or the shorter one.

Three objects are lined up at a common start line; order them from shortest to longest.

Two objects are never compared to each other — only to a third object in the middle. Use the two clues to work out which is longer or shorter.

Count how many same-size units (cubes/tiles) line up along an object to find its length as a whole number.

Same-size units must line up with no gaps or overlaps; pick the correct row and count the units.

Measure the length of an object by lining it up with a ruler (whole inches and centimeters).

Estimate lengths using inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.

Measure the same object with two different-size units, then tell how the counts relate to the unit size.

Measure two objects on a ruler and find how much longer one is than the other.

Add and subtract lengths within 100 to solve word problems, using a tape-diagram drawing and an equation with a symbol for the unknown.

Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number-line diagram, then name a marked point or find the point for a given number.

Estimate masses and liquid volumes — choose the sensible unit (grams or kilograms, milliliters or liters) and pick the best estimate for everyday objects.

Measure liquid volume on a beaker with a milliliter scale, or mass on a dial scale in grams. Read the marked level or the needle and write the measurement.

Solve one-step word problems that add, subtract, multiply, or divide masses or liquid volumes given in the same metric unit (g, kg, mL, or L). Open work area; the answer key shows the one-step number sentence.

Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table: given the larger unit, write the smaller-unit equivalents (1 foot = 12 inches, 2 feet = 24 inches, and so on). Customary or metric.

Convert within one system of measurement, expressing a larger unit in terms of a smaller one: feet to inches, pounds to ounces, kilometers to meters, liters to milliliters. The standard names both systems.

Use the four operations to solve word problems about distance, time, liquid volume, mass and money, expressing a larger unit in terms of a smaller one, and read measurement quantities from a number-line diagram with a scale.

Convert among different-sized metric units (e.g., 5 cm = 0.05 m; mm/cm/m/km, mg/g/kg, mL/L), and use conversions to solve multi-step real-world problems.

Multi-step word problems that convert metric length, mass, and capacity units.
