Worksheet Description

This worksheet features six colorful illustrations of common objects, each with a row of paperclip icons beside them to visually represent a measurement scale. The objects include a toothbrush, a comb, scissors, a toothpaste tube, a rolling pin, and a hairbrush. Students are tasked with counting the number of paperclip icons that correspond to the length of each object and then writing that number on the lines provided. The worksheet’s design is straightforward, engaging students with familiar items to teach measurement.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the concept of measuring length using non-standard units, in this case, paperclip icons. It introduces the practical application of counting as a means of measurement, helping students understand that objects can be compared and measured using consistent units. By writing the number of paperclips on the provided lines, students practice numerical recording and reinforce their counting skills. This task also encourages the development of observational skills as students assess the size of each object relative to the paperclip scale.
