The topic “measurement” for grade-2 is a step next to kindergarten skills and length measurement. The previous grade worksheets build the conceptual knowledge of measurement aspects. Kids learn about standard units to measure length, weight, and capacity. Standard scales of measurement with customary and metric units are introduced. It becomes easy for kids to relate the objects around them with their physical quantities.
What is “length measurement”?
The definition of length measurement at this level is:
- “A scalable quantity used to measure the gap between two points.”
- Distance is referred as the length of a path traveled between the two points. For example, the length of the path between a park and a shop.
Types of measurement:
In grade 2, measurement of the following physical quantities is introduced.
- Length
- Height
How to estimate and measure length?
Kids can estimate and measure length by understanding the concept of measurement units. The different units used to measure physical quantities are metric and U.S. customary. Kids can master the skill by practicing SplashLearn fun games. The games are designed as interactive worksheets. The worksheet problems feature surrounding objects to relate the concept fairly.

Measurement units:
Following charts explain the measurement units used for measuring length and capacity.
* The liquid units of measurement are same in US and UK system; but, the standard values are different.
Learning & outcome
The knowledge of standard units of measurement is essential in solving common math problems. Using customary and metric units, kids learn to use standard instruments like ruler and tape. SplashLearn's comprehensive exercises aim at using the right unit for estimating and measuring. Kids apply the technique to select a suitable unit of measurement for any object.
With the skills of identification based on physical quantities, kids apply the technique to select a suitable unit of measurement for any object. All the practice sheets follow the common core math standards. Scholars have observed a significant loss of skills during the summer vacations. As a result, the academic development declines for the kids in later grades. The versatile content of SplashLearn is best suited for homeschooling a child. Also, it helps to retain the skills like a fun-activity through games.
The projected outcomes of the learning are:
- Estimation of units for evaluating the length as per the object type
- Using the correct measurement units for measuring length & height
- Understanding different units of measurement i.e., U.S. customary and metric
- Placing the ruler on the pictures to measure the length of the object
Required math skills
To estimate and measure the physical quantity “length”, basic counting (2 digit numbers) is required. Also, addition and subtraction are useful to solve word problems. In the previous grade, kids learn to measure the length with SplashLearn using pins, beads or coins as a reference scale.
In grade 2, these skills are instrumental in building confidence to use a ruler and measuring tape.

Engagement
Measurement games for grade-2 are the next level of application of math skills. At this level, kids also learn other math skills. These are addition, subtraction and object classification. The knowledge of customary and metric units helps in measuring physical quantities. With SplashLearn fun games, kids can confidently learn these units and conversions. Kids can start practicing today to be first in math in their class.
Level by level progression for measurement
By grade 2, kids are already familiar with the concept of classification. The classification is based on colors, regular shapes and relative comparison of size. Also, skills like counting, addition, subtraction and composing shapes are helpful. These skills assist in solving measurement exercises with precision. The fun games comprise of word problems and equation based exercises to practically understand the concept.
Estimation of length
To start with the measurement of length, estimation of the physical quantity is important. Estimation of length aims at selecting two major attributes. These attributes are:
- Selecting the right unit of measurement for the physical quantity length
- Choosing the scalable unit as per the portion
Application
Estimation of length is helpful in selecting suitable units of measurement. For example, milliliter and liter, both the units are used for measuring liquids. Based on the liquid portion (a cup or a bucket), the appropriate unit will be chosen for writing the quantity in a scalable figure.
Similarly, centimeter and miles are used for measuring length. But, to measure the length of a stapler, unit “centimeter” is more appropriate than “miles”.
Whereas, “mile” is a suitable unit of measurement to measure the greater distance. For example, the distance between the school and home.
Instruments to use
- Counting skills
- Visual observation
Terms to remember
All the units in green are the metric units of length measurement. The remaining units are U.S. customary units.
Measurement of length
Length measurement is the measurable distance between two points. This distance is measured in standard units of measurement. The useful instruments are a ruler and measuring tape with markings on them. The height measurement is the length measured from top-to-bottom. For example, the classroom is 15 feet high. The height of a study table is 3 feet.
Application
Physical quantities length and height are essential in maths and physical education. They are also used in subjects like geometry and physics in later grades.
Instruments to use
- Ruler
- Measuring tape
The two instruments have markings in the metric system or the English system. Refer “Terms to Remember” to start reading a ruler.
Identify the measurement markings on a ruler by reading their notations near the 1st reading. The 1st reading in any ruler always starts from “0”.
- A general metric ruler measure 15 or 30 centimeters
- A general customary ruler measure 12 inches
Reference image: Metric ruler and customary ruler with markings in centimeter (cm) and inch (in)
- Each centimeter has 10 divisions.
- Each division is a millimeter long.
- An inch has 12 divisions.
Reading markings correctly on a ruler is instrumental in learning measurement in later grades. Advanced skills in measurement are reading fractional markings in millimeters and inches. Also, next level is the conversion of metric units to customary and vice-versa.
