Are you looking for a hands-on sorting activity to help students develop their sense of standard length measurements?

Students sort picture cards into the correct category based on the approximate length of each object — about 1 centimetre, about 10 centimetres, about half a metre, or about 1 metre. Three differentiated sorting mat templates are included so you can adjust the number of categories to where students are in their learning.

What's included:

  • 6 coloured mats per level

    • Level 1 sorting mat: about 1 centimetre or about 1 metre

    • Level 2 sorting mat: about 10 centimetres or about half a metre

    • Level 3 sorting mat: about 1 centimetre, about 10 centimetres, about half a metre, about 1 metre

  • 40 picture cards — 20 objects approximately 1 cm or 1 m in length, and 20 objects approximately 10 cm or half a metre in length

  • US spelling version included
