Activity: Recording Nonstandard Measurements

Free Downloadable Math Activity to Accompany Leo Lionni’s Inch by Inch

by Alana Pedalino

InchbyInch-class-activity-CUFAB-Hero

The clever inchworm in Inch by Inch can measure anything from a robin’s tail to a toucan’s beak, but when a hungry nightingale threatens to eat him for breakfast unless he can measure its song, the worm has to inch his way out of trouble!

After reading Leo Lionni’s classic Book of the Week with your class, download this free printable “Recording Nonstandard Measurements” activity. The inchworm can help! Cut him out and use him to measure objects in the classroom to help students connect to the story and make math even more fun.

This activity sheet was inspired by first grade teacher Ana Dinkins’s Book Talks video. Check it out for more tips on using Inch by Inch with your students.

How many inchworms does it take to measure a desk? Or a shoe? We’d love to hear from you! Please share with the Scholastic Book Clubs community on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #ScholasticBookClubs.

A Note from Judy

Making new friends can be as easy as sharing a cookie! The Book of the Week–If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond—shows all the possibilities of befriending a mouse that overstays its welcome.

This week, have fun guessing what the Book Boys will ask for next; watch an exclusive interview with the book’s author, Laura Numeroff, in Behind the Scenes; learn how a teacher uses If You Give a Mouse a Cookie to engage her students in Book Talks; and download a free sequencing activity in this week’s Cooked Up from a Book!

We hope this tale of a boy and a mouse will make your students laugh and learn about the importance of setting boundaries and sharing.
