Wheels and Rulers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to teach children how to measure objects using a ruler, focusing specifically on vehicles. It features images of four different vehicles, each placed next to a ruler that is marked in centimeters. Students are instructed to measure the length of each vehicle and record the measurement in the spaces provided. The vehicles vary in size, from a car and a truck to a bus and a special vehicle, each offering a different length to challenge the student’s measuring skills.

The purpose of this worksheet is to help students develop their measurement skills using standard units of length. By measuring the vehicles, students learn to accurately place the ruler at the starting point of the object and read the measurement at the endpoint. This activity reinforces the concept of centimeters as a unit of measurement, promoting precision and attention to detail. Additionally, the variety of vehicle sizes helps students practice and become comfortable with different scales of measurement.
