Use a Raised Number Ruler to Make Measuring Easier

If your students struggles to see the numbers on a ruler

How To Apply It!

  1. Raised number rulers have easier-to-read numbers and lines than traditional rulers. They are easier to read because the whole numbers are large and raised.
  2. This can be helpful for students who have a hard time with the small lines on a regular ruler.
  3. These rulers are useful for both inch and metric measurement.
  4. Raised number rulers can be found online at reasonable prices.

Why It Works (the Science Of Learning)!

Students who are struggling with measurement may find measuring easier because the large numbers are easy to read. Students with sensory weaknesses who rely on tactile learning can benefit from the raised numbers on the ruler.
