What is measurement?

Measurement is finding out how long, how heavy, or how much something is by comparing it with something else. In Class 1, children usually begin with simple comparisons and non-standard units before moving to more formal measuring tools.

Tips for Teaching Measurement in Class 1

Measurement is easier to understand when children can compare real objects before completing a worksheet. Ask your child to decide which of two objects is longer, shorter, taller, heavier or smaller. For simple length activities, use the same object, such as blocks, repeatedly as a non-standard measuring unit. Encourage children to explain how they made their comparison rather than only giving an answer.

How to Use These Worksheets

  • Classroom practice: use a worksheet during a measurement lesson.
  • Homework: reinforce measurement vocabulary after class.
  • Revision: use the sheets for additional practice before an assessment.
  • Homeschool practice: combine worksheets with real-object measurement activities.
