Does it Measure Up?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Use this fun activity with youngsters learning how to use rules for measurement. Each is provided with six steps that direct them to draw specific things with specific heights or lengths. For example, they start by drawing a tree that is 10 centimeters high. Include the extension: have them add something to their picture, measure it, and add it to their list. It's a fun way to personalize their drawing.
