About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 7 problems measuring a real object with a ruler to the nearest half inch.
This worksheet shows objects printed at their true size with no ruler drawn, so children measure them with a real ruler to the nearest half inch. Lining the ruler up is part of the task - the usual measuring worksheet positions the ruler for you, which removes the step children most often get wrong. Online, a ruler can be dragged onto the object instead. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
Student objectives
- Line a ruler up with the end of an object before reading it.
- Measure a real object to the nearest half inch.
- Read a ruler that is not already positioned for you.
Everyday practice
- Measure objects around the house with a ruler to the nearest half inch.
- Check that the ruler starts at zero and not at its edge.
- Measure the same object twice to see if you get the same answer.
