Part 2. Children sometimes try to measure the length of an object by placing one end of the object at the 1 marking instead of the 0 marking, as shown on the centimeter ruler in the figure. Why is the strip below not 5 cm long, even though the end of the strip is at 5? Why might a child put one end of the strip at the 1 marking? Is it possible to measure by starting at 1 or at another tick mark? 8. Centimeters Part 4. Some students might report that the strip measured by the inch ruler shown is 2.3 inches long. Why is this not correct? What is a correct way to report the length of the strip? Inches
