Let's solve this step-by-step!
This worksheet is about
measuring lengths using non-standard units — in this case,
anchors. The task is to measure the length of each boat by counting how many anchor icons fit along its length.
We'll go through each boat one by one and count the number of anchors shown beneath it.
---
🔹 Boat 1:
- There are
10 anchors lined up below the first boat.
- So, the length is:
10 anchors
✔ Answer:
10 anchors
---
🔹 Boat 2:
- Count the anchors beneath the second (larger) cruise ship.
- There are
14 anchors.
✔ Answer:
14 anchors
---
🔹 Boat 3:
- Count the anchors under the third boat.
- There are
12 anchors.
✔ Answer:
12 anchors
---
🔹 Boat 4:
- Count the anchors under the fourth boat.
- There are
11 anchors.
✔ Answer:
11 anchors
---
🔹 Boat 5:
- Count the anchors under the fifth boat.
- There are
13 anchors.
✔ Answer:
13 anchors
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Number | Length in Anchors |
|--------|-------------------|
| 1 | 10 anchors |
| 2 | 14 anchors |
| 3 | 12 anchors |
| 4 | 11 anchors |
| 5 | 13 anchors |

📝 Explanation:
This activity teaches
non-standard measurement, where instead of using rulers or inches, we use a consistent object (here, an anchor) to compare lengths. Each anchor represents one unit, so you simply count how many anchors fit end-to-end along the object being measured.
The key skill is
one-to-one correspondence and
counting accuracy.

✔ Fill in the blanks on the worksheet:
1. 10 anchors
2. 14 anchors
3. 12 anchors
4. 11 anchors
5. 13 anchors
You're all set! 🚢⚓
