Explore Digital Options for 2nd Grade Measurement

If your students only need extra help on a few topics, or you are looking for a no prep way to add to students learning, be sure to check out these 2nd grade measurement activities available on either Google Slides or Boom Learning (learn more about BOOM learning here).

Ruler, Yardstick, Tape Measurer (Boom & Google)

Help students determine which measurement tool is best to measure an object with these fun interactive slides. Students will look at the object that needs to be measured and then select if a rule, yard stick or tape measurer would be the most appropriate tool to measure.

Inches vs Centimeters (Boom & Google)

Using a digital ruler, students will look at an object and determine if an object is a certain number of inches or centimeters long.

Word Problems (Boom & Google)

Measurement word problems can be tricky. Have students practice solving these problems digitally with these 30 word problems. Students will then select the correct answer from 3 multiple choice options.

Estimation (Boom & Google)

Estimation can be difficult for students to grasp. Have students look at an object then determine how many units long the object is in either centimeters, feet or inches.

Comparing Length (Boom & Google)

Comparing length can be a headache for students. Reinforce this important skill with these 30 fun boom cards where students will measure 2 objects, then subtract to find out which object is longer and by how much.
