Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to have some fun with measuring. We have a special worksheet called “Centimeters and Inches” to help us learn. Let’s get started!
Most rulers have two sets of markings: centimeters and inches. Centimeters are the smaller, closer-together lines, while inches are the bigger, wider-apart lines. Let’s learn how to use them!
First, let’s measure a glove using centimeters. We have three choices: 5 centimeters, 9 centimeters, or 10 centimeters. To measure, we start at the end of the ruler and see where the glove ends. The dotted line shows us it stops at 10 centimeters. So, the glove is 10 centimeters long!
Now, let’s measure the glove again, but this time using inches. We look at the larger numbers on the ruler. The glove lines up with the number 4. So, the glove is 4 inches long!
Next, we have a sock to measure in centimeters. We line it up at the end of the ruler, and it reaches 15 centimeters. So, the sock is 15 centimeters long!
We have one more sock, a blue one, to measure in inches. We line it up and see it reaches the number 5. So, the blue sock is 5 inches long!
Measuring things is so much fun and really easy! Just line up the item with the ruler and see where it ends. Great job measuring today!
Remember to have fun learning and exploring new things. Happy measuring!
Measure Your World: Find three objects at home, like a book, a toy, and a shoe. Use a ruler to measure each item in both centimeters and inches. Write down your measurements and compare them. Which object is the longest? Which is the shortest? Share your findings with a family member or friend!
Ruler Art: Create a fun art project using your ruler. Draw a picture of a house, a car, or your favorite animal by measuring and drawing straight lines with your ruler. Try to use both centimeters and inches in your drawing. Show your artwork to your class and explain how you used measurements to create it.
Measurement Hunt: Go on a measurement hunt around your classroom or home. Find five items and guess their length in centimeters and inches before measuring them. Were your guesses close? Discuss why some items might be easier or harder to guess the length of. This activity will help you practice estimating and measuring!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

I have a new worksheet today called “Centimeters and Inches.” Most rulers come with both inches and centimeter markings. Use the ruler to measure the picture below and check the correct answer.
So, what we’re going to do is measure different items using the yellow ruler. Let’s take a look at our ruler first to understand where everything is. The smaller markings are centimeters, which are close together, and the larger markings are inches, which are wider.
Now, let’s look at our options for centimeters: 5 centimeters, 9 centimeters, or 10 centimeters. We will focus on the smaller numbers for centimeters.
Let’s start measuring the glove. We always begin at the end of the ruler. We line it up and see where it stops. The dotted line shows us where it ends, and it looks like it’s right on the 10. So, I will check the answer for 10 centimeters.
Now, let’s move on to the next one. This one is in inches, so we will look at the larger numbers. We have our glove lined up at the end of the ruler, and it goes to the 4. So, that will be 4 inches.
Next, we are measuring a sock. We are looking for centimeters again. The small numbers are next to the sock. We line it up at the end of the ruler, and it is at 15 centimeters. So, I will check that answer.
Our last item is another sock, a blue one this time. We are looking for inches again. The larger numbers are at the end of the ruler. We line up the sock and measure down to the dotted line, which is at 5 inches. I will check that answer.
Measuring is so much fun and pretty easy! You just have to measure and see where everything lines up. Great job today!
