Measure Mix Up
This useful and hands on worksheet supports students when learning to measure and compare the length, capacity and mass of objects using uniform informal units. Students will need paperclips to complete this activity.

Learning goals
- We are learning to compare and order objects and events using length, mass, capacity and duration using comparative language, e.g. lightest, light, heavier, heaviest.
- 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 order objects based on lengths and capacities.
