This means we have to be very careful with how we measure an object and we always have to start from the same point on the ruler. (We always start from the 0 (zero) line on the ruler. ]]> 2021-03-16 14:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1315749600 jennbeth24 https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1315769440 1. Line the object you want to measure up to the ruler, remembering to start from 0.
2. Find closest line to the end of the object you are measuring on the ruler - that is your measurement.

These many include paper clips, markers, erasers, and more. ]]> 2021-03-16 14:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1315868062 jennbeth24 https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1316048648 - Knowing what it means to measure an object 
- Learning what it means to precise with your measurements]]> 2021-03-16 14:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1316048648 jennbeth24 https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1316056016 - Rulers are fairly user friendly but my students will need help learning both sides of a ruler's measurement and meaning
- Students can be aided in their knowledge of measuring tools and in how to use a ruler through instruction by the teacher and through the helpful kid friendly YouTube video linked. ]]> 2021-03-16 14:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1316056016 jennbeth24 https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1316068071 - I need to emphasize the importance of always being exact with measurements in my lesson - students may not be precise in their measurements of objects in activities if they are not practicing the idea of precision
- Students may struggle with the concept of using rulers which have numbers versus using abstract materials such as paper clips to measure objects, it is important for me as a teacher to show them why it is important to know how to use both to measure length. ]]> 2021-03-16 14:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jennbeth24/min7du3be8vezg4b/wish/1316068071
