Your Measuring Challenge?

Go measure stuff!!

Copy and print out this ruler and use it to measure. It has another level of accuracy... notice that the fractions go as low as 1/8! To use it, just remember that it is the same idea as all the other units so far, we have just broken up the scale a bit more! Here are some reminders:

• Count SPACES. Lines can mess you up.
• Remember, the unit of measurement such as bananas and hotdogs are WHOLE units. Count the WHOLES as 1,2,3 etc. Each PIECE of the unit is a PART, such as 1 PART of 4, which is 1/4 or 3 parts of 4 is 3/4.
• You don't have to use the whole ruler. You don't even have to start at 0. You are counting UNITS and the numbers on the scale are handy but not a RULE of some kind.
• If you get messed up, just go back to the start and use bigger pieces of the whole.
