Measuring Length Activities for Year 3 Maths!

Year 3 teachers, this one’s for you! This year, we’re excited to help you plan lessons and take back your time outside of school with new, engaging learning activities aligned to the Year 3 maths standards. To get you started, we’ve compiled a massive collection of resources and tools to help you teach your third years about measuring length using metres and centimetres. 

Estimate and Measure Length With Emily and Max!

Get ready to introduce your students to Estimating Emily and Measuring Max. These two kids are great friends, but they constantly argue! Why? 

In this activity pack, your students will discover that Emily and Max like many of the same things but do not like to measure length the same way. Emily likes to estimate length, while Max prefers to measure it using a measuring device. Your students can help them solve their argument and see who has the better method by employing both of their strategies.

There are two measuring length worksheets included in your download, including the following:

• Estimate and Measure Length In Metres Worksheet
• Estimate and Measure Length in Centimetres Worksheet

Each worksheet requires students to find a variety of objects in the classroom and use estimation and formal measurement skills to determine the object’s length. Worksheets are marked with specific units for differentiation.
