Measuring Around the House!

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Trying to approach measuring in a fun and interactive way? You found it! This activity has young learners first cut out two "rulers" - one with simple units marked, and another with blank squares. They begin by going around their house in search of pictured items (i.e. crayon, quarter, spoon, etc.). They "measure" items using the blank ruler, marking the number of units on the activity. Next, learners move on to the marked "ruler", finding new items and recording measurements.
