Tape Measures (6Pk)

Bring measurement into hands-on maths activities with Tape Measures (6Pk). With two tapes each in 1.5, 3 and 5 metre lengths, this set gives learners opportunities to estimate, measure and compare everyday objects in the classroom or outdoors.

Real tools for practical learning

• Set of six tape measures: Ideal for paired and small-group measuring activities.
• Three lengths: Two 1.5 m, two 3 m and two 5 m tapes for exploring measurements on different scales.
• Hands-on maths: Practise estimating, reading measurements, comparing lengths and recording results.
• Indoor and outdoor activities: Use during classroom investigations, construction play and supervised outdoor learning.

Activity ideas

Ask learners to estimate the length of an object before measuring it, then compare their predictions with the results. Working in pairs encourages turn-taking, discussion and problem-solving.

• Measure familiar objects and arrange them from shortest to longest.
• Compare the height or width of different classroom resources.
• Measure out an outdoor distance and record the results.
• Set a challenge to find objects of a particular length.
