Linear Measurement: Measuring to the Nearest Half or Fourth of an Inch


By Cindy Aossey (KCM) & Bethany Neel

a Spotlight post Measuring to the nearest whole inch doesn't always provide the level of precision needed for a task. In this video, we explore transitioning from measuring with whole inches to using halves and fourths. The video shows how students might partition the inch-worms in the homemade ruler into halves and fourths, and how third graders might record a length as a mixed number.
