Features

  • Every lesson of the unit, in the same kinds of question as the test
  • Measure to the nearest inch on a real-size ruler, pick a ruler, yardstick or tape measure, and pick a centimeter ruler or a meter stick and the unit
  • Choose the length that makes sense in the other unit, and circle the better estimate
  • Measure two things in centimeters to find how much longer one is, and solve a length story
  • Show a subtraction with jumps on a number line and make a line plot of lengths
  • Four questions (6, 7, 9 and 10) are for the states that teach them in 2nd grade: cups and pints, containers of different shapes that hold the same amount, cubes and paper clips, and the tool and unit for a job
  • Answer keys name the lesson and skill of every question

Skills Covered

  • Measure to the nearest inch with a ruler
  • Pick a ruler, yardstick or tape measure
  • Pick centimeters or meters and the tool
  • Inches and centimeters for one length
  • Estimate in inches, feet, centimeters and meters
  • Measure in centimeters and find how much longer
  • Solve length story problems
  • Show a sum on a number line
  • Make a line plot of lengths
  • A bigger unit needs fewer units
  • Pick the tool and unit for pounds
  • Cups and pints, and the same amount in other shapes

How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole measurement unit, to do together the day before the test. Its 13 questions are the same kinds as the test's, in a different order, with other things and numbers, so nothing on the review is on the test. Questions 6, 7, 9 and 10 (cups and pints, the same amount in other shapes, cubes and paper clips, and the tool and unit for a job) are for the states that teach them. Print at 100% (actual size) so the rulers measure true inches and centimeters. There is no Score line: it is practice, not a grade. The pre-check and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Print at 100% (actual size). Do the review together the day before the test. Work a question, then let students try the next one on their own, and stop on any that trip up more than a few. Skip the state questions your class does not learn. The keys name each question's lesson, so a question the class misses points to the lesson to go back to.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school. Measure a spoon, a book and a shoe with a ruler in inches and in centimeters, and ask which number is bigger and why.

Tips for Success

  • Print at actual size so the rulers measure true inches and centimeters
  • Line up the end of the thing with the 0 on the ruler
  • About means the closest whole number
  • A centimeter is shorter than an inch, so it takes more of them
  • Go back to the lesson the key names for a question the class misses

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 1.MD.A.2 Measure an object by lining up equal-size units (like cubes) along it without spaces or overlapping, and give the whole-number count.
  • 2.MD.A.1 Choose a suitable tool, such as a ruler, yardstick, meter stick or tape measure, and use it to measure length.
  • 2.MD.A.2 Measure one object with two different units, such as inches and centimeters, and explain why a smaller unit gives a bigger number.
  • 2.MD.A.3 Make sensible guesses of lengths in inches, feet, centimeters and meters.
  • 2.MD.A.4 Measure two objects and find the difference in their lengths in a standard unit.
  • 2.MD.B.5 Solve story problems about lengths in the same unit, adding or subtracting within 100, with drawings like rulers and equations.
  • 2.MD.B.6 Show whole numbers as distances from 0 on an evenly marked number line, and show sums and differences up to 100 as jumps on it.
  • 2.MD.D.9 Measure several objects, or one object several times, in whole units and display the results on a line plot.
  • 3.MD.A.2 Estimate and measure mass in grams and kilograms and liquid volume in liters, and solve one-step story problems about them with any operation.
