How Many Blocks Long?

Measure with blocks and compare.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child measures length and height by counting blocks lined up end to end. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 43

We can measure with blocks! Line them up under the pencil, end to end, with no gaps.
Count the blocks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The pencil is 5 blocks long!
Your turn! Tap to line up blocks under the carrot.
Towers can be measured too. This tower is 4 blocks tall. More blocks means taller.
Try it with a grown-up! How many of your shoes long is your bed? How many spoons long is the table?
