This worksheet helps kids explore measurement hands-on. It presents them with two cut-out rulers, one in inches and the other in centimeters. They are tasked with measuring everyday classroom items using both of these, helping children gain practical skills and familiarize themselves with different units of measure.

Kids should understand that centimeters and inches are two different units of measurement used to determine length or distance. Centimeters are part of the metric system, which is widely used worldwide and is based on units of ten. There are 100 centimeters in a meter. Inches, however, are part of the imperial system and are commonly used in the United States. There are 12 inches in a foot. One key thing to remember is that a centimeter is smaller than an inch-a little over 2.54 centimeters make up one inch.
