Are you looking for a worksheet to help students measure, compare, and order lengths using informal units? Use this resource as a standalone worksheet or pair with the Comparing Caterpillar Lengths templates for a hands-on measuring activity.

Students measure each caterpillar using their chosen informal unit, record the length, cut out the caterpillars, and order them from shortest to longest on the recording sheet. Three differentiated sheets are included — each with a different number of caterpillars to compare.

What's included:

  • 3 recording sheets with varying numbers of caterpillars to order (3, 6, and 11 caterpillars)

  • Each sheet with more/less scaffolded versions
