Measuring with a Ruler (Year 2) | CGP Plus - Free Printable

I'll work through this step by step to measure each pencil using the ruler shown in the image.

Let me carefully compare each pencil to the ruler scale:

Sanjay's pencil:
Looking at the pencil and comparing it to the ruler, this appears to be approximately 7 cm long.

Anita's pencil:
This pencil is longer than Sanjay's. Comparing to the ruler, it looks to be about 10 cm long.

Mei's pencil:
This is the longest pencil. Looking at the ruler, it appears to be about 11 cm long.

Gracie's pencil:
This pencil is shorter than Mei's but longer than Sanjay's. It looks to be about 9 cm long.

Lexi's pencil:
This is one of the shorter pencils. Comparing to the ruler, it appears to be about 6 cm long.

Charlie's pencil:
This pencil looks similar in length to Gracie's. It appears to be about 8 cm long.

Let me verify these measurements by looking more carefully at how each pencil aligns with the ruler markings:

- Sanjay's: The tip reaches around the 7 mark → 7 cm
- Anita's: The tip reaches around the 10 mark → 10 cm
- Mei's: The tip reaches just past the 10 mark, around 11 → 11 cm
- Gracie's: The tip reaches around the 9 mark → 9 cm
- Lexi's: The tip reaches around the 6 mark → 6 cm
- Charlie's: The tip reaches around the 8 mark → 8 cm

Final Answer:
Sanjay's pencil: 7 cm
Anita's pencil: 10 cm
Mei's pencil: 11 cm
Gracie's pencil: 9 cm
Lexi's pencil: 6 cm
Charlie's pencil: 8 cm
