The ruler includes numbers and may have increments to help students determine the length more accurately.

The worksheet teaches students how to measure objects using a ruler, a basic skill in mathematics and various practical tasks. It reinforces the concept of length measurement and familiarizes students with the use of a standard ruler. By physically cutting out the ruler and using it to measure, students engage in a hands-on activity that enhances their understanding of spatial dimensions. This activity also helps develop fine m
