Tips for using it
- Line the object up with the 0 on the ruler, not with the end of the ruler.
- Guess first, then measure: kids get better at estimating with every try.
- Before using a ruler, check that the end of the object sits exactly on the 0 line.
- Say the unit with every answer: 4 is not finished, 4 inches is.
