Step-by-step solution for: 2nd Grade Math Worksheets - Measurement - Unit of Measurement ...
Let’s think about each object and match it to the best guess for its length or height.
We’ll go one by one:
1. Tree – Trees are tall! Not just a few feet — more like several yards. “About 10 yd” makes sense (that’s 30 feet!).
2. Person (boy) – A kid is about as tall as a grown-up’s waist or chest. “About 3 ft” is too short. “About 6 ft” is adult height. But this looks like a child… maybe “about 3 ft”? Wait — no, even small kids are taller than 3 ft. Actually, average 5-year-old is about 3.5–4 ft. Hmm. Let’s look at options: “about 3 ft”, “about 6 ft”. Maybe “about 3 ft” is too short. Wait — perhaps “about 3 ft” is for something else. Let’s hold on.
Actually, let’s list all objects and think realistically:
- Tree → very tall → about 10 yd (30 ft) ✔️
- Boy → around 3–4 ft? But we have “about 3 ft” and “about 6 ft”. Maybe “about 3 ft” is for smaller things. Wait — maybe the boy is meant to be “about 3 ft”? That seems low. Perhaps “about 6 ft” is for tree? No, tree is bigger.
Wait — let’s try matching based on common knowledge:
Common measurements:
- Ant → tiny → about 1 cm ✔️
- Glue stick → small hand item → about 3 in ✔️
- Pillow → about 1 ft long? Or 2 ft? Standard pillow is about 20 inches → so “about 2 ft” ✔️
- Chair → seat height is about 1.5 ft, total height maybe 3 ft? We have “about 3 ft” — but also “about 2 ft”. Let’s say chair height is about 3 ft? Actually, typical dining chair is 30–36 inches → so “about 3 ft” ✔️
- Boot → cowboy boot is about 1 ft tall? Yes, from heel to top → “about 1 ft” ✔️
- Binder clip → small office item → about 1–2 inches → “about 1 in” not listed. We have “about 3 cm” — 3 cm is about 1.2 inches → close enough ✔️
- Jar (like jam jar) → about 4–6 inches tall → “about 6 in” ✔️
- Log / piece of wood → could be 1 yard? 3 feet? “about 1 yd” = 3 ft → reasonable ✔️
- Person → if it’s a child, maybe “about 3 ft”? But that’s very short. Wait — maybe it’s “about 6 ft”? Too tall. Perhaps “about 3 ft” is wrong. Let’s check remaining options.
List of measurements given:
- about 3 in
- about 1 ft
- about 6 in
- about 1 yd
- about 6 ft
- about 3 cm
- about 3 yd
- about 2 ft
- about 1 cm
- about 10 yd
Now assign:
✔ Tree → about 10 yd (tallest)
✔ Boy → ? Let’s see — maybe “about 3 ft” isn’t there. Wait — “about 3 ft” is not an option! Oh! I misread. The options are:
Looking again:
The right column has:
- about 3 in
- about 1 ft
- about 6 in
- about 1 yd
- about 6 ft
- about 3 cm
- about 3 yd
- about 2 ft
- about 1 cm
- about 10 yd
No “about 3 ft” — okay, so boy must be “about 6 ft”? But he looks like a kid. Maybe it’s approximate. Or perhaps “about 3 yd”? 3 yards = 9 ft — too tall. “about 2 ft”? Too short. Hmm.
Wait — maybe the boy is “about 3 ft” — but it’s not listed. Did I miss it? No. So perhaps the intended answer is “about 6 ft” for a person? Even though it’s a drawing of a child, maybe they mean average person.
Alternatively, maybe “about 3 yd” is for tree? 3 yd = 9 ft — possible for small tree. But 10 yd is better.
Let me reassign carefully:
Object by object:
1. Tree → tallest → about 10 yd ✔️
2. Boy → human height → about 6 ft (even if drawn small, it represents a person) ✔️
3. Boot → cowboy boot → about 1 ft tall ✔️
4. Binder clip → small → about 3 cm (≈1.2 in) ✔️
5. Ant → tiny → about 1 cm ✔️
6. Jar → like peanut butter jar → about 6 in tall ✔️
7. Chair → standard chair height → about 3 ft? Not listed. Options: about 2 ft, about 3 yd, etc. About 2 ft is 24 inches — too short for full chair height. About 3 yd is 9 ft — way too tall. Wait — maybe “about 3 ft” is missing? But it’s not in the list. Perhaps “about 2 ft” is for seat height? But the whole chair is taller. Maybe “about 3 yd” is wrong. Another idea: perhaps “about 1 yd” = 3 ft — yes! 1 yard = 3 feet. So chair → about 1 yd ✔️
8. Log → piece of lumber → often sold in feet or yards. Could be 1 yd? But we used that. Or 3 yd? 3 yd = 9 ft — long log. Possible. Or “about 2 ft”? Short log. Let’s see what’s left.
9. Pillow → standard bed pillow is about 20 in → about 2 ft ✔️
10. Glue stick → about 3–4 inches → “about 3 in” ✔️
Now let’s list assignments:
- Tree → about 10 yd
- Boy → about 6 ft
- Boot → about 1 ft
- Binder clip → about 3 cm
- Ant → about 1 cm
- Jar → about 6 in
- Chair → about 1 yd (since 1 yd = 3 ft, reasonable for chair height)
- Log → ? Left options: about 3 yd, about 2 ft
- Pillow → about 2 ft
- Glue stick → about 3 in
Left measurements: about 3 yd, about 2 ft — but pillow took about 2 ft. So log must be about 3 yd? 3 yards = 9 feet — that’s a long log, but possible for a construction beam. Alternatively, maybe chair is about 2 ft? No, too short.
Perhaps log is about 1 yd? But we assigned chair to 1 yd.
Wait — maybe chair is about 2 ft? Seat height is about 18 in, backrest adds more — total maybe 30–36 in → 2.5–3 ft. So “about 2 ft” is a bit short, but closest available? Or “about 3 yd” is way too big.
Another approach: let’s count how many of each.
Total objects: 10
Measurements: 10
Assign logically:
Very small:
- Ant → about 1 cm
- Binder clip → about 3 cm
- Glue stick → about 3 in
Small-medium:
- Boot → about 1 ft
- Jar → about 6 in
- Pillow → about 2 ft
Medium-large:
- Chair → about 1 yd (3 ft)
- Log → about 3 yd (9 ft) — if it's a long plank
- Boy → about 6 ft
- Tree → about 10 yd
That uses all:
Measurements used:
- 1 cm (ant)
- 3 cm (binder clip)
- 3 in (glue stick)
- 1 ft (boot)
- 6 in (jar)
- 2 ft (pillow)
- 1 yd (chair)
- 3 yd (log)
- 6 ft (boy)
- 10 yd (tree)
Perfect — all matched.
So final matches:
- Tree → about 10 yd
- Boy → about 6 ft
- Boot → about 1 ft
- Binder clip → about 3 cm
- Ant → about 1 cm
- Jar → about 6 in
- Chair → about 1 yd
- Log → about 3 yd
- Pillow → about 2 ft
- Glue stick → about 3 in
Now, to present the answer as per the worksheet layout:
The worksheet has two columns of images with "PASTE HERE" boxes, and a separate list of measurements to cut out.
We need to pair each image with the correct measurement.
Order in the worksheet (left column top to bottom):
1. Tree
2. Boot
3. Ant
4. Chair
5. Pillow
Right column top to bottom:
6. Boy
7. Binder clip
8. Jar
9. Log
10. Glue stick
So:
Left column:
1. Tree → about 10 yd
2. Boot → about 1 ft
3. Ant → about 1 cm
4. Chair → about 1 yd
5. Pillow → about 2 ft
Right column:
6. Boy → about 6 ft
7. Binder clip → about 3 cm
8. Jar → about 6 in
9. Log → about 3 yd
10. Glue stick → about 3 in
Final Answer:
Tree - about 10 yd
Boy - about 6 ft
Boot - about 1 ft
Binder clip - about 3 cm
Ant - about 1 cm
Jar - about 6 in
Chair - about 1 yd
Log - about 3 yd
Pillow - about 2 ft
Glue stick - about 3 in
