Rulers and Yard Sticks
Directions:
1. You will need a ruler and a yard stick.
2. Start with a ruler to find the length. Show your
child how to read inches. Then show them where
a half inch is located on their ruler. Then show
them where a ¼ inch, ½ inch, and ¾ inch are
located within an inch.
3. Let them go wild measuring everything in the
house.
4. Then make a game of it. Get two rulers and both
of you measure. Say let’s try to find something
that is ______ inches long.
5. Next, get a yard stick. Go over how to measure
using a yard stick. Do the same activities you did
with a ruler.
Measure On!!!
