Practice reading a centimeter ruler to find the length of a bar, including half-centimeter measurements Subtract the starting point from the ending point when the bar doesn't begin at zero Measure to the nearest half centimeter using the smaller tick marks on the ruler
Read the temperature on a thermometer when the scale goes from 0° to 100°. Use the labeled tens (10, 20, 30, etc.) to find the right section of the thermometer quickly. Count by 2s between the marked lines to figure out the exact temperature. Match a thermometer’s red level to the correct number of degrees.

Decide whether an object is best measured in centimeters or in meters. Connect a unit to a real object of about that size. Recognize that centimeters suit small objects and meters suit large ones.

2md1 2md3
Decide whether an object is best measured in inches, feet or yards. Connect a unit to a real object of about that size. Recognize that yards are used for fields and long distances, feet for rooms and furniture, and inches for small objects.
