Recently, I worked with a middle school student on learning how to read and understand a ruler (or tape measure) for a STEM -related course the student was in. I'd like to share these two wonderful resources here so that you / your students can learn how to effectively read and understand a ruler or tape measure, as well. My student's classroom teacher shared these same resources with me, and they were extremely helpful. At the age of 39, even I learned a couple things that I either never really knew or simply forgot!
After this awesome video, check out the link that will take you to an interactive game you can play to test your skills at reading a ruler. There are different settings you can try in the game.
