Grade 2 Measurement worksheets

Choosing the sensible unit for an object, estimating a length, and comparing or combining lengths.

How the skills build

Choose the right unit comes first, then Estimate a length, where only one option has both a sensible number and unit. Compare and combine lengths finishes with how much longer and how long together.

Using these worksheets

  • Extension
