Numeracy: Make Your Own Ruler and Measure Things on Friday, June 12, 2020


Make Your Own Ruler and Measure Things


Cut out a long strip from a cardboard box.
(The longer your piece, the larger the items you can measure!)



Write 0 all the way to the LEFT.

Put down 2 fingers, and then write the next number.
(If a grown-up is doing this, just use 1 finger!)

Do this until you get to the end of your cardboard.



Collect a few things from around your house.




Pick one thing and line it up on your ruler STARTING AT 0.



What number is the end of it closest to?


Challenge Round


Make your ruler longer by adding more paper and numbers.
Go around your house and use it to measure things!

Record what you measure and how long it was.
