This resource is inside The Hive, along with thousands more, plus powerful digital tools and time-saving systems.

Are you looking for an activity to help students practise estimating and measuring distances in metres?

Students choose a distance, estimate how long it is in metres, then measure and record the actual length. A reflection prompt at the bottom asks students to compare their estimates to their measurements and write what they noticed.

What’s included:

  • 4 recording sheets in two formats (2 or 4 distances)

  • Each sheet available with or without "from/to" labels to scaffold how students describe each distance

  • US spelling version included
