KS1 maths interactive lesson on measuring lengths, with non-standard units, centimetres and metres, and measurement comparison activities.
One-time purchase. Instant digital download.
This Measuring Lengths lesson teaches KS1 children to measure using informal, non-standard units — such as counting how many blocks long an object is — before progressing to standard units of centimetres and metres.
Across 20 interactive slides, children complete measuring tasks using everyday objects as units, fill in missing measurements from visual examples, and practise comparing lengths, with instant feedback on every answer.
A printable worksheet is included alongside the digital lesson for additional offline practice.
These are foundational measurement skills that prepare children for formal use of rulers and standard units later in KS1.
