About this worksheet
A free printable longer or shorter? compare lengths worksheet with an answer key. Look at where each thing starts and ends. Circle the one the row asks for. It suits ages 4 to 6, and little ones can count the pictures with a finger. Line the object up with the 0 on the ruler, not with the end of the ruler.
Tips for using it
- Guess first, then measure: kids get better at estimating with every try.
- Measure a few things at home too, like a spoon, a shoe or a toy car.
- Before using a ruler, check that the end of the object sits exactly on the 0 line.
- Say the unit with every answer: 4 is not finished, 4 inches is.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. The PNG shows page 1 only. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
