Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check This ruler extends to 20 cm, with numbers printed every 2 cm and a main tick at each whole centimeter. Read 12 cm at its label; for 17 cm, start at 16 and move one centimeter farther. This page widens the number range. It does not introduce half-centimeter answers. For a longer object, starting from a nearby labeled number can be easier than recounting from zero. ▸ Worked example 4 − 0 = 4 cm ▸ Check answers after trying 0–20 cm ▸ Next worksheet Reading Length.
