Kindergarten Measurement Worksheets -Worksheets Library - Free Printable

This worksheet is titled "Order by Length" and is designed to help children practice comparing the lengths of different objects and ordering them from shortest to longest (or vice versa). The goal is to number each object in a row based on its length.

🔍 Instructions for Solving:

For each group of three similar items (e.g., paintbrushes, crayons, markers), you must:
1. Compare their lengths visually.
2. Assign numbers 1, 2, and 3 in the boxes next to each item:
- 1 = shortest
- 2 = medium
- 3 = longest

We’ll go through each set one by one.

📝 Final Answer Summary:

| Row | Left Column | Right Column |
|-----|-------------|--------------|
| 1 | 3, 2, 1 | 1, 3, 2 |
| 2 | 3, 2, 1 | 1, 2, 3 |
| 3 | 3, 2, 1 | 3, 2, 1 |

> ⚠️ Note: The left column has paintbrushes, crayons, and glue sticks — all ordered longest to shortest.
> The right column has pens, pencils, and markers — ordered shortest to longest.

But since the instruction says "Order by Length", it's standard to assign 1 = shortest, 3 = longest, regardless of direction.

So the final answers are as above.

✔ How to Fill It In:

Write the numbers 1, 2, 3 in the blank boxes next to each item, starting with 1 for the shortest, 2 for the middle, and 3 for the longest.
