Grade 3 Measurement Worksheets: Temperature and Building with Cubes

These Grade 3 measurement worksheets look at two everyday measures: temperature and the space objects fill. On the hot-or-cold pages a child reads simple pictures and decides whether something is hot or cold, warmer or cooler, building the language of temperature before any thermometer scale. The cube-tower pages ask the child to count the cubes that make up a tower and compare how much space different towers fill, an early, hands-on look at volume. Reading temperature in everyday terms and counting cubes to compare how much space something takes up are the measurement ideas these pages explore. The pictures are large and clear, and the counts stay small, so a child can think through each comparison calmly, count the cubes one at a time, and decide without any hurry.

This set works with warmth and with space. A child sorts pictures into hot and cold, decides which of two things is warmer, and counts the cubes in a tower to see which fills more space. There is nothing to rush — just a careful look at each picture and a small, steady count of the cubes.

When your child is comfortable comparing temperature and counting cubes, you can print more of these measurement worksheets as a PDF and keep exploring on paper. Everything is free, with no sign-up and no account, and there are no timers or scores to hurry a careful count. A different answer is just a chance to look at the picture again.
