Measuring length across the grades
2nd grade
Measuring length worksheets for second grade put the ruler on the page: a shaded bar sits above it, and your child reads its length in whole inches or centimeters. Every bar starts at 0, so the answer is the number at the end mark.
3rd grade
Third grade measuring length worksheets move to halves and quarter inches. Each item shows a bar above a ruler, and some bars start at a nonzero tick, so an answer like 3 1/2 in takes careful reading, not a glance at the last mark.
