Målekort

Målekort is a Swedish term meaning "measurement card" and is used to refer to a variety of card-based tools designed to support recording, comparing, or practicing measurements. There is no single standardized product called målekort; instead, the term covers different formats produced for education, fieldwork, and professional settings. Common features include a compact, portable card or set of cards that present measurement units, reference objects, or checklists, along with space to record observations or results.

In education, målekort are often laminated or otherwise durable teaching aids used to develop familiarity with metric units such as millimeters, centimeters, meters, grams, and liters. Cards may show visual representations of objects alongside the corresponding unit, provide prompts for estimation before measurement, and include conversion tasks between units. They support active, hands-on learning and can be used individually or in small groups.

In fieldwork or laboratories, målekort may function as quick-reference data sheets: a card containing essential fields for recording measurements (instrument used, date, location, value) and sometimes pre-printed scales or templates for specific types of data. The format is chosen to be portable and resilient to outdoor or busy environments.

Because målekort are not standardized, the exact content and design vary by country, school, or institution. The term is primarily used in Swedish-speaking contexts and may appear in educational resources, teacher guides, or product catalogs without implying a single official specification.
