3rd Grade Measurement Worksheets and Activities

In this measurement worksheet, students compare the weights of two objects using a balance scale. Learning how balance scales work helps students understand how to measure weight in units like grams or pounds. Worksheet instructions: Determine which object is heavier or lighter based on the balance scale. Circle the correct answer. Note that the questions at page bottom are challenging, requiring inferences (A is heavier than B, B is heavier than C, so A is heavier than C).

Worksheet instructions: Use the marbles at the bottom of this worksheet to measure the objects. Then, estimate the length of each object in inches. Each marble is about half an inch wide (0.5 inches).

Worksheet instructions: Use real quarters, or the cut-out ones from this worksheet, to measure the objects. Then, estimate the length of each object in inches. Each quarter is about 1 inch wide.
