Harrowing Halloween Measurement Cards

Harrowing Halloween Measuring Cards is an exciting and educational resource designed for young students to practice measuring length using informal units. This set features 20 engaging cards, each showcasing different Halloween-themed images that students will love to measure. From ghosts and bats to pumpkins and witches' hats, each card presents a spooky image for students to measure using one of the six included informal measuring strips.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to measure and compare objects and events using length, mass and capacity, recognising that units need to be uniform, appropriate and used end-to-end.
  • We are learning to measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end.
  • We are learning to compare objects and events based on length, mass, capacity and duration using comparative language, such as short, wide, long, high.
  • We are learning to compare objects using mass, length and capacity, e.g. heavier, lighter.
  • We are learning to order objects based on lengths and capacities.
  • We are learning to compare and order shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity.
  • We are learning to compare masses of objects using balance scales.
