About this resource
Description
Reading a thermometer is a real-world measurement skill students use every day. The Thermometer Reading Worksheet gives 5th grade students practice reading both Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to the nearest two degrees, then using those readings to solve multi-step temperature problems.
How to Use This Worksheet
Students first read four thermometers. Two use the Celsius scale and two use the Fahrenheit scale, and every reading falls between the labeled numbers, so students must count the marks instead of copying a label. Next, they solve two word problems in which the temperature changes by the same amount each hour before it rises or falls again. Finally, they use thermometer 4 to solve a problem and explain how they found the answer. This thermometer reading worksheet works well for math centers, homework, small-group lessons, or a science and weather unit.
What’s Included
- Four thermometers to read, two in °C and two in °F
- Two multi-step temperature change word problems
- One written-response problem that asks students to explain their thinking
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, reading the marks between labels builds careful measurement habits that carry over to rulers, scales, and graphs. Second, switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit teaches students to always check the unit before they answer. Third, the word problems connect multiplication, addition, and subtraction to a real situation, which strengthens multi-step problem solving.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Place a real thermometer outside a classroom window and have students record the temperature at the same times each day for a week. Then ask them to write their own change-in-temperature problems for a partner to solve. This 5th grade measurement worksheet also pairs well with a lesson on weather, seasons, or line graphs.
