1-2-3 Come Measure Up With Me!

Since the apple and pumpkin measurement booklets were such a huge success, I decided to follow them up with some quick table-top, measuring worksheets.  You can do them separately for your math or science block, or run them off and staple them into a booklet.

It would be a good idea to start these activities with a brain storming session. To review, ask students to define what height and weight is, how they can measure it, and why they think measuring things is important.

The last page provides an opportunity to practice greater than, less than, and equal too.  Children can add a bit of pizzazz to their work with crayons or markers.
