(10 Questions)
Measuring objects using the Metric System in centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm), as well as inches.
In this activity, students will sometimes see the ruler placed properly at the end of the object , and other times -not- see the ruler placed properly. What is also unique about this activity is that the student will need to type in his or her answer. In the last 5 questions using the inch ruler, the student will need to convert a simple fraction like 1/4 into a decimal.
