For example
Read the scale on the ruler to see how many centimetres long.
In Grade 3
Children read marked lines on rulers, jugs and weighing scales, counting the spaces rather than the marks.
Watch out for
Children often count the marks instead of the spaces between them. The gaps are what carry the amount.
Say it at home
Read a measuring jug together and work out what one small space is worth.
