This challenging worksheet asks second graders to plan and solve multi-step length problems. They find the total length of a fence with four 6-foot sections, compare Lily's 5-foot scarf to Ben's 48-inch scarf, and figure out how much space is left above a 35 cm stack of books on a 90 cm shelf. Estimation choices test whether a banana is closer to 7, 20, 50, or 100 centimeters. Fill-ins convert a 60-foot hallway to yards, line up five rulers for 60 inches, and combine two 50 cm pieces of yarn into 1 meter. Strong reasoning practice for real measurement decisions.
