How to Carefully Measure Objects? If you think that measuring object is pretty straightforward, then you're right. However, there are a few basic measurement aspects you need to consider before you consider each type of object. In other words, you have to find out important dimensions as well as angles for the objects. For instance, if you measure a rectangle, then dimensions for its length and width, you can also find the measurements of all the angles. However, it's relatively simpler for a shape like this because the angels are all 90°. However, if you're finding out the measurement of shape like a triangle, you will need a protractor.

This is a great section to dive into the basic concept of what a measure is. It equates the concept of length to a value. We use visual blocks to signify units of measure. While these worksheets will seem simple, students are learning to use all types of tools of measurement. From this quick series of lessons and worksheets they are learning how to use rulers, graduated cylinders, beakers, even a weighted scale. These worksheets explain how to express physical measurements in a given unit. Students will use units such as "blocks" (with no set value) to measure simple drawings.
