Comparison is one of the most crucial math skills second graders learn, because it can be applied to so many other disciplines across the elementary school curriculum. In this measurement and data lesson, kids will work on object comparison and graphing. The exercises ask kids to list objects in size order, estimate length, note differences in length, and make bar graphs.
What is the length of a crayon? A marker? Which one is longer? Students can cut out the included in/cm ruler to estimate, measure, and compare the length of easy-to-find objects in your classroom.
Get your rulers ready because it's time put those measuring skills to the test! Students will use their own rulers to complete this end of year assessment, measuring and comparing in both inches and centimeters.
Get your students excited about measuring with this fun and colorful hands-on activity! Your students will see the difference between centimeters and inches as they use the included ruler to measure a fidget spinner, toy car, and other fun objects.
Try measuring with paper clips to find out how long the pictured objects are. This worksheet is great for measurement practice and building counting skills too.
Which is larger: an inch, a centimeter, or a paper clip? Students will practice their subtraction while building comparison skills with this math activity.
Here's a fun math and science activity: help your child explore four different kinds of measurement, using their hand and a few simple household tools.
