Use a fun robot-themed maths craft with your students when learning about measuring to the nearest centimetre.
Get Busy Measuring with a Fun Maths Craft Activity!
This fun craft template has been created by a teacher to add a fun element to learning about measurement using a centimetre ruler.
To create the robot, students will need to colour and cut apart the pieces and assemble the robot on a piece of coloured paper. Once the robot is assembled, students will use a ruler to measure the length of each body part and record it on the measurement chart. Finally, they will attach the chart to their robot and hang it up for all to see!

How to Differentiate This Measurement Maths Robot Craft
Here are a few ideas for differentiating this activity for students in different grade levels.
- For primary learners (F-1), have students measure using informal units such as counters or snap cubes.
- For intermediate learners (2-3), extend the activity by having students measure using centimetres, half-centimetres, or millimetres.
- For upper-level learners (4-5), have students measure the robot in centimetres and convert it to millimetres. You could also have them measure the original robot and use multiplication skills to scale the model up and create a larger version.
