Paintbrush Length

Worksheet Description

Measure each of the paintbrushes using the rulers that have been provided for you. This worksheet is designed to help students practice measuring different items using a ruler. The worksheet features images of four fish alongside rulers that are numbered from 1 to 12, representing inches. Students are required to determine the length of each fish by looking at where it aligns with the ruler and then write the measurement in inches in the blank spaces provided above each fish. The rulers are marked clearly, enabling students to read and understand measurements in inches.

The worksheet teaches students how to accurately measure lengths using a standard imperial ruler. It helps students become familiar with the inch as a unit of measurement and reinforces their ability to translate visual information from a ruler into numerical data. By writing down the measurements, students practice numerical recording and learn to express lengths in terms of whole numbers and fractions. This activity also enhances their observational skills, as they must discern the exact point up to which each fish extends on the ruler.
