Product description
From the author
Students measure three pairs of pictured objects—arrows, fish and birds—using one unit for each pair. They record the lengths and work out how much longer or shorter one object is.
The two-page PDF contains the worksheet and an answer key with approximate inch and centimeter values. Print at a consistent scale and provide rulers. Use it as a math center, small-group task or independent practice.
