About this worksheet

What students practice

Students measure lengths by counting same-size units laid end to end with no gaps or overlaps.
Students explain how gaps, overlaps, and mixed-size units make a measurement wrong.
Students order and compare animal lengths measured in cubes.

How to use

Have students point to and count each cube under an animal, from one end of the animal to the other. Use real cubes to act out the gap and overlap mistakes in Part 2.
