Estimating Length: Customary Units

Get comfortable with customary units in this inviting measurement worksheet! In the first five problems, learners will need to choose the best estimate for the length or height of a common school item, like a paperclip or a school bus. Then, in the last question, students will be challenged to choose an item in their classroom that is about a foot long and explain their reasoning.

Use this second-grade worksheet to help students familiarize themselves with customary units in context. Learners will also practice their estimation skills and logical reasoning as they decide on the most reasonable option. These skills are important both in students’ continued math education and their everyday lives!
