How to solve Grade 2 measurement problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    How many inches long is the feather?

    1. The left end of the feather lines up with the 0 mark.
    2. The right end lines up with the 5-inch mark.
    3. It starts at 0, so the number at the right end is the length: the feather is 5 inches long.

    Answer: 5

  2. Example 2

    The belt is 27 inches long. The snake is 14 inches long. How many inches shorter is the snake than the belt?

    1. The belt is 27 inches and the snake is 14 inches.
    2. To find how much shorter, subtract the smaller length from the bigger one: 27 − 14 = 13.
    3. The snake is 13 inches shorter than the belt.

    Answer: 13

  3. Example 3

    123456789101112

    What time is shown on the clock?

    1. The short hour hand is between the 1 and the 2. It has passed the 1 but not the 2 yet, so the hour is still 1.
    2. The long minute hand points to the 9. Count by 5s for each number: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. That is 45 minutes (quarter to the next hour).
    3. Hour 1 and 45 minutes: the time is 1:45.

    Answer: 1:45
