Nautical Numbers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet introduces children to measuring objects, specifically various types of boats, using a centimeter ruler. It features four boats, each depicted alongside a yellow ruler that is scaled in centimeters. Students are required to determine the length of each boat by aligning the start of the boat with the zero mark on the ruler and reading the measurement at the end of the boat. Each boat’s image offers a unique challenge due to differences in shape and size, providing a diverse range of measurement exercises.

The worksheet aims to teach students the basic skill of measuring objects accurately with a ruler. It focuses on the application of measuring in centimeters, a fundamental unit of length in the metric system. This activity helps students practice precise measurement and enhances their understanding of spatial dimensions. Ultimately, through engaging with visually appealing nautical images, students develop both their mathematical skills and their ability to apply these skills in practical scenarios.
