Let's solve the problem step by step.
Problem:
The worksheet asks you to
measure the length of each pencil using a ruler and write the length in the box below each pencil.
Each pencil is placed next to a ruler marked from 0 to 6 (inches or units). The ruler has markings at every whole number, and we can assume each unit represents one inch (or centimeter — but for simplicity, we’ll just use "units").

Step-by-step measurement:
We need to look at where the
tip of the pencil reaches on the ruler. Remember: start counting from
0 at the bottom.
#### 1st Pencil (leftmost):
- The pencil starts at 0.
- The tip reaches
just above 3, but not quite to 4.
- However, since this is a kindergarten worksheet, the measurements are likely whole numbers.
- Looking closely, it appears to reach
3 units.
✔ Answer: 3
#### 2nd Pencil:
- Starts at 0.
- Tip goes up to
5.
- It’s aligned with the 5 mark.
✔ Answer: 5
#### 3rd Pencil:
- Starts at 0.
- Tip reaches
2.
✔ Answer: 2
#### 4th Pencil:
- Starts at 0.
- Tip reaches
4.
✔ Answer: 4

Final Answers:
From left to right:
- First pencil:
3
- Second pencil:
5
- Third pencil:
2
- Fourth pencil:
4

Write the answers in the boxes:
```
[ 3 ] [ 5 ] [ 2 ] [ 4 ]
```

✔ Solution: The lengths of the pencils are
3, 5, 2, and 4 units respectively.
This exercise teaches children how to read a ruler and measure objects starting from zero.
