Estimating Inches: Nature Walk

Estimate the length of sticks, leaves, flowers, and more in this colorful measurement worksheet! In each of these nine problems, students will first need to make their best estimate for the length of a picture of something from nature. Then, they’ll use a ruler to find the real length of the picture. 

This worksheet is designed to help second graders get more familiar with the approximate length of an inch. Putting measurements in the context of everyday objects can improve students’ ability to make estimations in their own lives, a vital skill they can use even outside of school!

Keep working on those estimation skills with Estimating Length: Insects and Estimating Length: Customary Units.
