Master Ruler
By Lou

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have a tool in my classroom called the Master Ruler. It is actually 4 rulers hooked together with a binder strip. One is marked off in inches, one in 1/2 inches, one in 1/4 inches, and one in 1/8 inches. They are hard to describe, but they are color-coded, they overlap each other, and they make measuring so much easier! The Master Ruler was invented by a teacher who struggled with teaching her students measurement. There's also one for the overhead projector. I've had mine for about 4 or 5 years and my students love them.
