 Ruler
What is a standard imperial ruler?
It ls a common 12-inch desk ruler stlll used by a
f ew countries, like America,

What is the ruler's history?

Ruler sizes have changed over centurles, dependtng
on cultures, The oldest measurlng rod found wås ã
copper bar 2,650 BCE in the Middle East, Today, most
countries of the world use the easier m etrlc ruler,

Why does America still use standard meãsuremsnts?

A lot of Americans do use metrlc rulers, llke
uni versities, sci entlsts, and doctors, However,
traditlons are diffícult to change and some maJor
lndustrles stlll rely on standard measurements¡
llke road signs and construction, Amerlcans llve
ln acountry that uses both,

How does a standard ruler work?

Every ¡nch ¡s d¡v¡ded into 16 pieces, so
Êvery mark equals !./!6",

The ruler lnvolves a lot of equivalent

fractlons, such as
2/1,6'= 1/8"
Êr/16" = 4/Ë" = 2/4" = 1/2"

So, what ls the correct answer?

Every ãnswer uses the fraction in lowest terms, such as
2 Ê/1-6" = 2 t12",

Flx these errors:

4 1,t/1,6'= ____--__

7 6/E'= ________

What is the exact measurement?

i tl¡ One player deals five cards to each player and stacks the remaining cards facedown
in a pile.

ü: Player I draws the top card without showing it to the other player. This card represents
length. Player I then chooses a card from his or her hand to represent width. The player
places these cards together facedown without showing the other player.

Player 2 takes a turn in the same way.

{:4i Players turn over their cards and calculate the area using the formula A = Lx W. The
player with the greater area collects the four cards and places them in a separate pile.
If players have the same area, players set the cards aside and begin the next round. The
player who wins the next round wins all eight cards. (For additional reinforcement of
skills, have studen[s each draw their shape on graph paper and find the perimeter as
well as area of the shape. The player with the greater area collects the cards.)

i )"' Play continues in the same way. When players use all the cards in their hands, a player
deals five more cards to each playen

.6.¡ The game ends when all the cards have been used. The player with the most cards wins.

Use face cards to represent the numbers I I (ack), l2 (queen), and l3 (king)
