There are 2 basic kinds of rulers. Standard (inches) Metric (centimeters/millimeters)
Metric (centimeters/millimeters) measurements are read and written as decimals. Standard (inches) measurements are read and written as fractions.
Fill in the ruler below. Let's focus on the 0 to 1 part. 1/8 ________________________________________________________________________ 1/4____________________________________ 1/2___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Units01 ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
1/8 __________ __ 1/4______ 1/2__ Units0 1 Use your pen to draw these lines... red
1/8 __________ __ 1/4______ 1/2__ Units0 1 Now, start at 0 and make "jumps" until you get to 1.
1/8 __________ __ 1/4______ 1/2__ Units0 1 How many "jumps" did it take? 8
1/8 __________ __ 1/4______ 1/2__ Units0 1 So EACH of these marks are...
1/8 __________ __ 1/4______ 1/2__ Units0 1
1/8 __________ __ 1/4______ 1/2__ Units0 1
1/8 __________ __ 1/4______ 1/2__ Units0 1 Can this reduce?
1 1 1 1 1 1 1/8 __________ __ __ 1/4______ __ 1/2__ __ Units0 1
EVERY mark is called a millimeter.

Fill in the ruler below. Let's focus on the 0 to 1 part.
Use your pen to draw these lines... red
Each of the longest marks represent one centimeter.
Now, start at 0 and make "jumps" until you get to 1.
How many "jumps" did it take? 10
So EACH of these marks are...
