Broom Habits

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a measurement activity that features images of five different brooms, each with an accompanying ruler. Students are instructed to measure the length of each broom using the ruler and then write the measurement in the space provided. The worksheet adds a coloring element to the task: students are to color the longest broom red and the shortest broom purple, integrating art with their measurement exercise.

The worksheet is teaching students how to measure objects accurately using a ruler and how to record these measurements numerically. It also introduces the concept of comparative measurement, prompting students to evaluate the lengths of the brooms relative to each other. The coloring aspect helps to solidify the concepts of ‘longest’ and ‘shortest’ in a visual and interactive way. By combining measurement with coloring, students are able to engage both their analytical and creative skills in a fun learning activity.
