I used this a way for students to use their perimeter knowledge to find the length of sides using a ruler. THe hardest part of this activity was the sizing of the ruler. Many students struggled with the way the ruler could be manipulated. This may be more of a suggestion for Google but there needs to be a way to lock the ruler so it can't be expanded or shrunk.

I used this resource to help prepare my students for using an online ruler for state testing. I love that the ruler includes both cm and in for students to practice identifying which side to use. The color coding helped to support my lower students. Thanks!

This resource was a life saver and is truly amazing. Not only was a video lesson provided to help students understand the concept, but it provided instructions on how to work through the activities. It also provided students a way to check their solutions to see if they were on the right track as well as provided hints for those students who were stuck. The resource was able to meet the needs of both my struggling learners and my ESL kiddos. Thank you for an amazing, easy to use product!!!

In addition to my work in education, I also run a STEM-based Christmas Light Show business. When I'm not creating new math resources or working with teachers, I'm designing and fabricating light shows sequenced to music with my husband and our team. That business came about after our family was featured on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight. My son attends the University of Texas, Austin and I'm currently soaking up every last minute with my daughter, a high school senior.
