Measurement Worksheets

Get ready for an amazing math unit with these fun measurement activities for kindergarten.

Measurement is such a fun concept to teach because it’s something that children see everywhere around them.

Helping them recognize and quantify the differences in size, weight, and other measurable attributes really is giving them words to express things they’ve already noticed but maybe didn’t understand.

This activity is low prep and fun. All you need are some Uno cards, snap cubes and a dice.

Sweet Treats – Measure It

Kindergartners get to practice non-standard measurement, meaning that they get to measure with things other than rulers. For this activity, they get to practice measuring sweet treats with a variety of block sizes, or you could measure with paperclips and other classroom supplies.

Sort by Size Cake and Candles

Playdough lovers will adore this activity. Cut straws to make the “candles”, and let the children sort them by length.

Build and Measure Block Towers

You can use any blocks you have for this activity, but we love to use Legos. My kiddos love to build Lego towers, and measuring them just made it more fun.

How Many Fish Long?

Here is another example of non-standard measurement, and it involves a delicious snack. you can use toy fish as well if you would rather not have crackers.

Where Animals Live Venn Diagram

Venn diagrams are a fantastic way for children to analyze and sort data. For this one, we used animal counters from the cupboard, but you can also use sets from the dollar store or any others that you have.

Class Poll & Graph Block Towers

There are 4 different classroom polls in this set. Give each of the children a block and then let them take turns voting for their favorites. Watch the graph change as the towers grow. So fun!!

Blow & Measure Pom Pom Game

You are looking at what may be our favorite activity of the set!! The kids LOVED blowing their pom poms and trying to hit the center. Measuring the distance from the center was great practice as well.

Weight Station Cards

Have you ever made a weigh station? This is a truly hands-on, exciting way to learn about measurement. Your biggest challenge may be trying to get them to stop. 🙂

Draw It: Taller or Shorter

Add a little bit of art to your measurement work. My kiddos always love using dry erase markers, and this is the perfect opportunity.

Planting by Size Flowers Activity

I’m not sure if the kids had more fun making the flowers or planting them in the playdough. Either way, it was great sorting by size practice.

Non-Standard Rulers Measurement

Here is some more non-standard measurement practice for your students. We love these accordion fold style rulers because they are whimsical and fun. Children will need help folding and cutting these out.
