Measuring length worksheets

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

Find where the bar starts and where it ends. The length is the distance between them.

Two grades, each its own sheet. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Print by grade

  1. 2nd grade Core grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    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.

  2. 3rd grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    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.
