Students Learn to Read a Ruler with this Game

When my 3rd-grade students are learning to read measurements to the quarter inch, I use this game.  Most kids get really into it.  As students get the measurement correct, the timer goes faster and faster.  You can change the settings to display rulers that measure just the inch, half inch, quarter inch, sixteenth inch, thirty-two seconds of an inch, and even sixty-four seconds of an inch.
