Measuring Length and Perimeter
Help plan a little garden path! Compare lengths, measure with equal-sized units, and find the distance all the way around a shape. Remember: perimeter means the distance around the outside.
Compare and measure
Use the clues in each question to compare and measure lengths.
1.Three garden sticks measure 2, 5 and 3 blocks long. Write the stick lengths from shortest to longest.
2.Path A is 4 equal blocks long. Path B is 6 equal blocks long. Which path is longer?
- Path A
- Path B
- They are the same length
3.A leaf is 3 blocks long. A twig is 5 blocks long. Complete the sentence: The leaf is than the twig.
4.Tui measures a path with blocks. Which way will give her a fair measurement?
- Use equal-sized blocks, touching end to end with no gaps
- Use blocks of different sizes with spaces between them
- Put all the blocks in a pile
Around the garden
Trace the outside edge of a shape with your finger. That outside distance is its perimeter.
5.Choose what perimeter tells us about a shape.
- The distance all the way around the outside
- How heavy the shape is
- The colour of the shape
6.Each side of this square is 1 block long. How many blocks long is the perimeter all the way around?
7.Draw a rectangle with sides that are 3 blocks, 2 blocks, 3 blocks and 2 blocks long. Add the side lengths to find its perimeter.
8.If you wrap string all the way around a garden bed, the string shows its perimeter.
- True
- False
9.A garden bed has a curved edge. Which tool could you bend around the edge to measure it?
- String
- A long straight stick only
- A drinking cup
10.Draw a shape with 4 sides. Trace its perimeter in a different colour, or go over the outside edge with your finger. How many sides did you trace?
