Measure Lengths in Inches: how to help at home or in class
Lay a ruler on the table and measure a crayon, a spoon and a toy car, always sliding the left end of each object up to the zero line. Before each measurement, ask for a guess and compare it with the reading. When your child lines up the zero mark without a reminder and reads different lengths correctly, it is time to try the centimeter side of the ruler.
