This Grade 2 medium worksheet teaches reading a scale or measuring cup with simple markings. Students complete nine fill-in sentences about tick marks, cup lines, and pointer positions, then match a feather, puppy, half cup, and full cup to the numbers their tools show. Using familiar items, Grade 2 learners build the habit of checking markings carefully, reading to the nearest whole, and understanding weight versus capacity measurements.
Style:
Weight & Capacity
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A scale marked in pounds shows the needle pointing between 0 and 2; the tick lines help you read to the nearest whole.
2. The measuring cup shows 1 cup filled to the halfway line; that means it holds half a cup.
3. A kitchen scale shows 4 oz when a banana is placed on it. This tells the banana's weight.
4. A measuring cup with markings at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 cup measures capacity.
5. If the arrow on a pound scale rests exactly on the 5, the item weighs 5 pounds.
6. A scale that shows 16 ounces is showing the weight in ounces, the smaller unit.
7. On a measuring cup, the line labeled 1/2 is below the line labeled 1.
8. To read a scale, look at where the pointer stops.
9. A measuring cup tipped to the side gives a wrong reading.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
