This hard sheet challenges first graders with multi-step measurement reasoning. Part A has four multiple-choice problems, like placing a 6-inch pencil and a 3-inch crayon end to end, or comparing three ropes measured in paper clips. Part B offers five fill-in-the-missing-measurement questions where students figure out a straw is 3 inches longer than a button, order three sticks from shortest to longest, and find the combined length of a marker and pen.
