Animal Heights

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features pairs of animals, each pair contained within its own box, with blank lines provided for recording measurements. The animals are depicted alongside a series of blocks, intended to serve as non-standard units for measuring their height. Students are instructed to measure the height of each animal by counting the number of blocks and to record their findings on the lines. Additionally, they are asked to circle the animal that is taller within each pair, adding an element of comparison to the task.

The worksheet serves as an educational tool for teaching young students how to measure height using a non-standard unit and how to compare sizes. By measuring the animals with blocks, students practice counting and develop an understanding of measurement concepts. The task of circling the taller animal reinforces comparative skills, enabling students to recognize differences in height visually. Overall, this activity promotes critical thinking and introduces basic principles of measurement and comparison in an engaging and interactive way.
