Classroom Measurement Scavenger Hunt

Search for classroom objects and use a ruler and balance scales to measure them. Estimate first, then measure. Record length in centimetres (cm) and mass in grams (g). Ask before moving or weighing anything. If you do not have scales, use the measurement cards in Question 7.

Estimate and measure length

Find a pencil, a book and a desk or table. Measure each to the nearest centimetre. Write your own results; answers will vary.

1.Choose a pencil. Estimate its length, then measure it with a ruler. Record both measurements and say how many centimetres apart they are.

2.Measure the longer side of a book to the nearest centimetre. Is it longer or shorter than your pencil? Include both lengths to support your answer.

3.Measure the width of a desk or table. Estimate first. Write the estimate, the measured width in centimetres, and whether your estimate was within 5 cm.

Weigh the mystery items

Use balance scales if available. Estimate each object's mass before weighing it. Use grams (g).

4.Find a glue stick or another small, safe classroom item. Estimate its mass, weigh it, then write how many grams apart your estimate was.

5.Compare two safe items using the balance scales. Which is heavier? Name both items and record their masses in grams.

6.A measurement kit has these recorded masses: glue stick 32 g, lunchbox 380 g, and drink bottle 510 g. Put the items in order from lightest to heaviest.

Glue stick — 32 g

Lunchbox — 380 g

Drink bottle — 510 g

Masses are examples for this activity.

7.The book measures 28 cm and the pencil measures 17 cm. How much longer is the book than the pencil? Show or explain your thinking.

8.A ribbon is 35 cm long. Hana cuts off 12 cm. How many centimetres of ribbon remain?

9.A bottle contains 1 litre of water. A cup holds 250 millilitres (mL). How many full cups can be poured from the bottle? Remember: 1 L = 1,000 mL.

2 cups
4 cups
10 cups

10.Create a mini measurement record. Draw one classroom object, label it with its name, and write its measured length or mass with the correct unit.
