Our measuring length worksheets with answer keys include exercises for kids to use non-standard objects like blocks and paper clips to measure objects, and read rulers to find the length of line segments, solve word problems involving adding and subtracting lengths, and much more! Embark on your learning journey with our free worksheets!

Measuring Objects with Paper Clips

The paper clips are laid along the object's edge, get kids in grade 1 and grade 2 to count how many clips it takes to cover it entirely and record the number of paper clips to measure each object.

Measuring Objects with Blocks

The blocks are placed next to the objects or above, count the number of blocks used and record this information in these measuring length worksheets.

Reading Rulers

Task kids with reading rulers to measure lengths accurately. First, they identify the units, align the start of the object with the zero mark, and count the units to determine the length.

Reading Rulers in Centimeters and Millimeters

Each length worksheet encompasses 6 rulers, and kids are expected to read the whole number of centimeters and count the millimeter increments to determine the precise measurement.

Reading Rulers in Inches

Let's read rulers to measure objects, express the length in whole, half, quarter, or three-quarters of an inch, and introduce fractions in a practical context for 3rd grade and 4th grade children.
