Let's solve the "Measuring Length" worksheet step by step. The goal is to
count how many units each object spans on the grid below it. Each square in the grid represents one unit.
---
1. The paints
- The paint palette has 8 colored circles.
- It stretches across
8 squares on the grid.
✔ Answer: 8 units
---
2. The pencil
- The pencil starts at the first square and ends at the 10th square.
- Count the squares it covers: from 1 to 10 → that’s
10 units.
✔ Answer: 10 units
---
3. The eraser
- The eraser is blue and red, and it spans from the 1st to the 6th square.
- So it covers
6 units.
✔ Answer: 6 units
---
4. The crayon
- The crayon starts at the first square and ends at the 7th square.
- It covers
7 units.
✔ Answer: 7 units
---
5. The brush
- The brush (a paintbrush) starts at the first square and ends at the 5th square.
- It covers
5 units.
✔ Answer: 5 units
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. The paints are about
8 units.
2. The pencil is about
10 units.
3. The eraser is about
6 units.
4. The crayon is about
7 units.
5. The eraser is about
5 units.
> Note: There are two items labeled "eraser" — one is a pink/blue eraser (item 3), and the other is a brush (item 5). The brush is not actually an eraser, but the label says "The eraser is about..." which may be a mistake. But based on the image, we're measuring what's shown.

📝 Summary:
| Item | Length (units) |
|------------|----------------|
| Paints | 8 |
| Pencil | 10 |
| Eraser (3) | 6 |
| Crayon | 7 |
| Brush (5) | 5 |
This activity teaches estimation and measurement using non-standard units (the grid squares).
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of units of length worksheet.
