Using an actual ruler and using a ruler that you manipulate on the computer are two very different yet important skills. When I was in the classroom as a third grade teacher I always wished I gave the students more opportunities to manipulate rulers digitally since they will be asked to at the end of the year on their SOL tests. I created this Google Slides file to do just that!
Since I think it’s important for the students to use both real rulers and digital rulers I gave the students opportunities to do both here. We had students work in pairs to complete this.
