Measure and Estimate Length
Help plan a mini-golf course by choosing sensible measuring tools, estimating lengths, and solving measurement puzzles. Use inches, feet, yards, or centimeters. For measuring tasks, use objects you have nearby; answers will vary.
Plan the Course
Choose a useful tool and make a sensible estimate before measuring.
1.Emily wants to measure a golf pencil that is about 4 inches long. Which tool is the best choice?
- A 12-inch ruler
- A 25-foot tape measure
- A yardstick
2.The mini-golf lane is several yards long. Which tool would make measuring it easiest?
- A short ruler
- A tape measure
- A small paper clip
3.A golf ball is small. Which units are sensible for measuring its diameter? Select both.
- Inches
- Centimeters
- Yards
- Miles
4.Estimate the length of a book or notebook nearby in inches. Write your estimate, then measure it with a ruler and record the actual length. Was your estimate too short, too long, or close?
Measure with Care
Remember to line up the object's end with the zero mark, not the edge of the ruler.
5.A ribbon starts at 0 inches on a ruler and ends at 9 inches. How long is the ribbon?
6.A toy bridge is 2 feet long. How many inches long is it? (There are 12 inches in 1 foot.)
7.A paper tunnel is 30 inches long. How many feet and inches is that?
8.Put these mini-golf objects in order from shortest to longest: a 6-inch pencil, a 1-foot ruler, and a 2-foot lane marker.
9.True or false: A 3-foot yardstick is a sensible tool for checking whether a small eraser is about 2 inches long. Explain your choice.
10.Draw or name one object that is about 1 foot long. Then say how you could check its length.
