Long and short worksheets

Longer or shorter, taller or shorter, bigger or smaller

Make first measurement worksheets. Each box shows two pencils, two towers or two pictures, and your child circles the longer one, the taller one or the bigger one. You can ask for the shorter or the smaller one in its place. One of the two is always clearly bigger.

How to make your worksheet

  3. Choose how many pages to print.
  4. Print. Press “New version” for new pairs.

A fair start

The two pencils start at the same dotted line and the two towers stand on the same ground line. That is the first rule of measuring: line things up before you compare them.

Words first

Longer, shorter, taller, bigger and smaller are words to use at home all day. The page checks that the words are understood.

Good questions

How different are the two?

The smaller one is about half to two thirds the size of the bigger one, so the answer can be seen at a glance.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Turn on “Answer key page”.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. The page uses very little ink.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
