Discover the Fun of Measuring Length with Interactive Task Cards!

This set of task cards has been created to provide a hands-on approach to understanding length through real-world applications. Students will explore different objects and use a ruler to measure each object. They will then measure them to the nearest centimetre and millimetre.

More Engaging Hands-On Year 3 Measurement Activities

If you are looking for more hands-on ways to teach your students about measuring length, we’ve asked our teaching team for some of their favourite mass activities, and we’ve included them here for you:

  1. Length Mystery Box Activity – Place various objects inside boxes or brown paper bags. Your students aren’t allowed to see what is inside. They must draw out an object and then use a measurement tool to measure the length of each object inside.
  2. Length Scavenger Hunt – Students need to search for items around the classroom that fit into a specific length range. For example, less than 12 centimetres and exactly 80 millimetres. After collecting a few objects, students measure and record the length of each object they found
