Measurement & Data
Children work on measuring length, telling time, counting money, and reading picture and bar graphs.
How to use this worksheet
- 1
Do "Hundreds, Tens and Ones" before either regrouping sheet. A child who can say that 47 is four tens and seven ones will understand carrying; a child who cannot will memorise a procedure and forget it over the summer.
- 2
On "Counting Money", use real coins alongside the page. Coin values are arbitrary facts — the only way in is handling them.
- 3
For "Two-Step Word Problems", ask "what do we need to find out first?" before any calculation. Naming the hidden first step is the entire skill; the arithmetic is already easy by this point.
- 4
Print "Reading a Bar Graph" even if it looks easy. Data questions are heavily represented on second-grade assessments and are the ones children have practised least.
