This worksheet is a “Measure Treasure Hunt” — you’re supposed to use a real ruler to measure each object shown (like the fork, pencil, shoe, etc.) and write how many inches long they are. Then, you circle the longest one and put a square around the shortest one.
Since I can’t physically measure these items for you (they’re drawn on paper), here’s what you should do:
1. Grab a ruler that shows inches (not just centimeters).
2. Line up the ruler with each object — start at the 0 mark and see where the object ends.
3. Write down the number of inches next to each item.
4. Compare all your numbers — the biggest number is the longest object (circle it). The smallest number is the shortest (put a square around it).
For example:
- If your fork measures 6 inches, write “6” next to it.
- If your key measures 3 inches, write “3” next to it.
- Then compare: 6 > 3, so the fork is longer.
You’ll need to do this for all 8 objects: can, key, fork, cotton swab, envelope, notebook, pencil, and shoe.
Once you’ve measured them all, you’ll know which is longest and which is shortest.
Final Answer:
Measure each object with a real ruler, write the inch length, then circle the longest and square the shortest based on your measurements.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of measurement worksheet second grade.
