An activity for children to estimate the length of classroom objects, record their answers and then measure and check the real length. 2 per page to save on printing and meaning they can be cut out and glued into A5 books if desired. Differentiated versions Estimate and then measure using a ruler. Pages 2 and 3 contain 4 x 5, 10, 15 and 20cm measuring cards for children who are not ready to measure accurately with a ruler. Cards can be cut out on paper, card and could be laminated. Children can check which size the item is nearest to or can state “smaller than/bigger than 5cm…” etc. Self-assessment rating at the bottom. Children compare their estimations to the real answer and circle a number from 1-10 to score their guesses.
