About these worksheets
These worksheets introduce basic measurement concepts for early learners. Students compare the lengths of objects to determine which is longest or shortest and use non-standard units to measure objects by lining up equal-sized units end to end. Aligned with first grade measurement standards.
4md1
Decide which of two lengths is longer or shorter when the units differ. Convert to a common unit before comparing. Recognize that the larger number is not always the longer length.
4md1
Decide which of two lengths is longer or shorter when the units differ. Convert to a common unit before comparing. Recognize that the larger number is not always the longer length.

About these worksheets
Students practice measuring lengths using American customary units. Worksheets include reading rulers in inches, estimating distances, choosing appropriate units, converting between inches, feet, yards, and miles, adding and subtracting measurements in feet and inches, and working with mixed unit conversions. Resources span second through fifth grade standards.
4md1
Get better at making a reasonable guess for how long an object is without measuring it. Choose the best length from a few options by comparing what you see to familiar sizes (like an inch, foot, or yard). Decide which unit makes sense for an object’s length (inches, feet, or yards). Use benchmark lengths to tell when an estimate is too short or too long.
4md1
Choose whether inches, feet, yards, or miles makes the most sense for a given distance. Use what you know about common objects and places to make a reasonable estimate of a length. Explain why one unit is more appropriate than another for measuring a specific distance.
4md2
Add lengths written in feet and inches. Subtract one feet-and-inches measurement from another. Regroup between inches and feet when the inches add past 12 or when you need to borrow a foot.
4md1
Convert a measurement written in mixed units (like feet and inches) into just the smaller unit. Use the correct conversion facts between inches, feet, yards, and miles.
4md1
Choose the customary unit that best fits what is being measured. Tell length, weight and liquid volume apart from the situation alone. Use the largest unit that still gives a number of at least 1.

About these worksheets
These worksheets cover metric length measurement skills. Students practice reading centimeter and millimeter rulers, estimating metric distances, choosing appropriate metric units, converting between millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers, and adding and subtracting metric lengths. Aligned with fourth and fifth grade standards.
4md1
Practice reading a centimeter ruler to find the length of a bar, including half-centimeter measurements Subtract the starting point from the ending point when the bar doesn't begin at zero Measure to the nearest half centimeter using the smaller tick marks on the ruler
4md1
Practice making a reasonable guess about how long something is using metric units. Learn to choose the best unit for a length (millimeters, centimeters, meters, or kilometers). Compare a few possible lengths and pick the one that makes the most sense for the object shown. Use what you know about common objects to judge about how long something is without measuring.
4md1
Choose the best metric unit to describe how long something is. Tell when millimeters, centimeters, meters, or kilometers make the most sense for an item. Compare a few unit choices and pick the one that matches a reasonable real-world size. Read a short description of an object and decide which metric measurement fits.
4md2
Practice adding and subtracting decimal measurements in centimeters Convert between millimeters and centimeters (10 mm = 1 cm) before adding or subtracting mixed units Give the answer in the correct unit based on what the problem asks for (cm or mm)
4md1
Convert a mixed metric length (like meters and centimeters) into just the smaller unit. Use the metric relationships (10, 100, 1,000) to move between kilometers, meters, centimeters, and millimeters. Combine the converted parts correctly to write one total measurement in a single unit.
4md1
Choose the metric unit that best fits what is being measured. Tell length, mass and liquid volume apart from the situation alone. Use the largest unit that still gives a number of at least 1.

About these worksheets
Students work with both American customary and metric measurement systems side by side. Worksheets include measuring objects in both inches and centimeters, estimating lengths using both systems, filling in conversion tables, and balancing equations with mixed units. These activities help students see the relationship between the two measurement systems. Aligned with second through fourth grade.
4md1
Convert between larger and smaller units of length, weight, and liquid volume. Use a conversion table to find the matching value in a different unit. Multiply or divide by a conversion factor to fill in missing measurements.
4md1
Practice balancing measurement equations by figuring out the missing amount that makes both sides equal.
4md1
Practice writing the correct abbreviations for common U.S. customary units like inches, feet, yards, and miles. Practice writing the correct abbreviations for common weight and capacity units like ounces, pounds, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. Practice writing the correct abbreviations for metric units like millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, milliliters, and liters. Learn to match a unit name to its standard abbreviation without mixing up similar-looking abbreviations (like m vs mi or oz vs lb).
4md1
Practice reading common measurement abbreviations and writing the full unit name. Learn the correct spelling of standard and metric measurement units. Recognize similar-looking abbreviations and match each one to the right unit.
4md1
Judge whether a stated measurement is sensible for the situation. Recognize a measurement that uses the wrong unit. Recognize a measurement that uses the right unit but the wrong amount.
4md1
Choose a reasonable temperature for an everyday situation. Read a temperature against the scale it is written in. Compare Fahrenheit and Celsius values for the same situation.
