Estimating Length in Metric Units is Tricky!

Estimating length can often be tricky for some of our students, especially when choosing between more than two units. This resource allows your students to practice the skill in a nonthreatening way. 

To play, students will look at the image and click on the length that best estimates the size of the object shown on the slide. They will be taken to a screen showing if they are correct or need to go back and try again. All the slides have been properly linked to make this a self-checking activity for your students. 

Through this activity, students will show an understanding of how to estimate length using metric units.
