To create, students will need to color and cut apart the robot pieces and assemble the robot on a piece of colored 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 Math Robot Craft
Here are a few ideas for differentiating this activity for students in different grade levels.
- For primary learners (K-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 to the nearest half or quarter inch.
- For upper-level learners (4-5), have students measure the robot in centimeters and convert it to inches. You could also have them measure the original robot and use multiplication skills to scale the model up and create a larger version.
