Free Measurement Colouring Page | Year 1 | Maths | BookFlik
Make learning about size and length fun with our engaging Maths measurement colouring page year 1 core resource. Designed specifically for Year 1 pupils, this activity helps children practise their understanding of non-standard and standard units of measurement through a creative, hands-on task.
In this activity, Max the monkey has been busy measuring his favourite jungle objects. Children are tasked with identifying which items are longer, shorter, taller, or smaller. By colouring the objects based on their size properties, students reinforce their ability to compare and describe lengths and heights using accurate mathematical vocabulary. This Maths measurement colouring page year 1 core resource is perfect for consolidating classroom learning in a way that feels like play.
This resource aligns perfectly with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) for Year 1 Mathematics, specifically the measurement strand where children are expected to compare, describe, and solve practical problems for lengths and heights. Because it is a core-level activity, the questions are designed to build confidence at the expected standard, helping children transition from visual comparison to using simple measurements.
Teachers can use this sheet as a starter activity to assess prior knowledge, as an independent task during maths rotations, or as a calming homework sheet to reinforce the day’s lesson. The inclusion of Max the monkey provides a friendly, relatable guide that encourages students to see maths as a puzzle to be solved.
The pack includes 6 questions covering recall and application:
1. Which is the longest item on Max’s list?
2. Colour the shortest pencil blue.
3. If a leaf is 5cm and a stick is 8cm, which is longer?
4. Find an object taller than the tree.
5. Can you order the items from shortest to tallest?
6. Why do we need to use the same unit to measure accurately?
