Practice reading a tape measure to the nearest inch and half inch with a set of printable Reading a Tape Measure Worksheets.
Reading a Tape Measure is Tough!
If you’ve ever picked up a tape measure and struggled to use it, you’re not alone! Reading a tape measure (for some reason) is drastically more difficult than reading a ruler, so it’s definitely going to be challenging for your students. That’s where we come in! We’ve put together a handy set of printable worksheets to help introduce your students to the tape measure and how to use it.
Differentiated Reading a Tape Measure Worksheets
This printable pair of Reading a Tape Measure worksheets is just what you need to introduce your students to this measuring tool. We’ve included two worksheets written at two different levels.
- Reading a Tape Measure Worksheet 1 – Requires students to measure to the nearest whole inch only.
- Reading a Tape Measure Worksheet 2 – Requires students to measure to the nearest half-inch.
Through this activity, your students will gain familiarity with the purpose and use of a tape measure to measure objects to the whole and half-inch.
