About this resource

Help Year 1 children explore measurement with this Spring Themed Measure Length activity, using non-standard units like cubes, paperclips, or squares. This hands-on maths activity is perfect for children who are beginning to measure objects by counting equal-sized units. Featuring colourful spring-themed pictures of carrots and tulips, it encourages children to observe carefully, count accurately, and compare lengths and heights. Pupils can practise using simple mathematical language, such as “I know this carrot is longer because it has more cubes,” while developing reasoning and problem-solving skills. Ideal for classroom use, home learning, or seasonal activities, this resource makes learning about measurement engaging, practical, and fun for young learners.Read more

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
