My students always need lots of practice measuring. So I made a Measurement Packet just for practice. I leave four booklets in each station. First, I print on card stock. Then, I laminate each page and punch a hole in the corner. Then, I use a
Ring-It (greatest invention ever) to make a booklet. I also put out four zip top bags with the tools needed to measure (cubes, bear counters, and paper clips) and a dry erase marker to write on laminated pages. My bags are color-coded - yes, I am a bit OCD. All the cubes, bears, and paper clips are red in first bag, blue in second bag, yellow in third bag, and green in fourth bag. This helps
me not be so crazy the kids clean up much more quickly and easier than having random colors and trying to count 10 of each back into the bag! (Note - save your used Bounce dryer sheets b/c they make GREAT erasers for dry eraser markers.)
My students always love this station. It is fun, and there are plenty of pages to practice so no one ever gets finished or bored. Do any of you hate the words "I'm bored" as much as I do? Those words make my head spin. Anyway...if you would like a copy of my Measurement Packet -

Hope your kiddos enjoy it as much as mine do! If you download - please leave me a little comment! :)
