📏 Measuring to the Nearest ¼ Inch Worksheet

Are you looking for a way to assess your students’ understanding of measurement and length? This math worksheet covers measuring objects to the nearest ¼ inch. Students won’t need their own ruler for this worksheet, as the ruler is printed directly onto the page. This individual practice page includes 8 questions across 2 pages.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

For students who need a bit of a challenge, encourage them to measure items around the room or in their desks. Students can record their findings on a separate piece of paper. 

For students who need assistance with the worksheet, teachers can point to the nearest inch to the object being measured and have students use their pencil tips to move along the ruler in quarter-inch increments until they reach the end of the object.
