About this resource
Description
Young children learn to measure long before they use a ruler. They start by comparing two things and naming the difference with a word. This Measurement Terms Worksheet gives kindergarten students practice with six of those words: heavy, light, tall, short, long and short again, each one used to describe a real object.
This kindergarten measurement worksheet has three picture cards. Each card shows two words and two objects that differ in just one way. Students look at the pictures, read the two words, and write the right word on the line under each picture. A feather and a bowling ball show heavy and light, two green vases show tall and short, and two pencils show long and short. Because each card names its own pair of words, every picture has exactly one correct answer. The answer key on page two shows each word in place.
What’s Included
- 1 printable PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 3 compare-two-objects picture cards
- 6 measurement words to write: heavy, light, tall, short, long, short
Why It Helps Kids
First, comparing two objects side by side is how children first make sense of size and weight, so the pictures do the teaching. Second, writing the word builds the vocabulary children need to explain their thinking out loud. Third, seeing that the big-looking feather is still light helps children notice that weight and size are not the same thing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the sheet, hand children two classroom objects and ask, “Which one is heavy?” Build two block towers and ask which is tall. After the sheet, send children on a hunt for one long thing and one short thing in the room. The measurement terms worksheet also works well in a math center, as homework, or as a quick check before moving on to measuring with units.
