About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 7 objects printed at true size to measure with a real ruler to the nearest sixteenth inch.
This worksheet prints objects at true size so they can be measured with a real ruler to the nearest sixteenth inch, the finest precision the standard names. Because there is no drawn ruler, the drawing is never stretched to fit its column - a stretched object is no longer the size it claims, and a child measuring it correctly would be marked down. Answers are written as mixed numbers in lowest terms. Sheets can be printed for practice; the online version is turned off, since a screen has no fixed size.

- Use a real ruler on a printed object.
