Estimating Length: Snacks

Even snacktime can be educational! Use this engaging worksheet to teach students about estimation and measurement in the metric system. Learners will first need to estimate the length of ten different snacks in centimeters. Then, they’ll use a ruler to find the actual length of each snack and see how close they were!

This second-grade worksheet is a great activity to help students get more comfortable with length measurements and the metric system. Learners can also see what kinds of real-life items they can measure with a ruler. The ability to accurately estimate and measure length can develop students’ spatial awareness and help them determine length and size in real life.
