Measurement in Kindergarten
Practice measurement skills with these engaging activities and printables. This resource includes materials that focus on length, size, weight, capacity and temperature. Use these measurement activities to setup fun and purposeful centers in your classroom or use the printable measurement tasks to easily assess learning. Measurement is one of our largest areas of study in Kindergarten. We cover length, size, weight, capacity and temperature. Since there is quite a lot to chew off when diving into measurement, I break this strand apart and cover the various topics during different times of the year.
Take a look at some of my measurement anchor charts and centers.
After reviewing the various rules of measuring length (see anchor chart) we used a mix of loose parts to measure our classroom dinos. This center is easy to put together and the dinosaurs can be swapped out for just about any toy or object. WEIGHT
When learning about weight in Kindergarten we often use our classroom balance scale to compare items. If you do not have a balance scale you can make your own using a hanger, string and plastic cups. During distance learning my students, teaching partner and I created our own DIY scales. They weren’t quite as accurate, but they got the job done (usually).
If you are on the hunt for a digital measurement resource these Google Slides were a fun way to explore important measurement themes.
