We can choose the correct measuring tool when measuring length. A ruler is for short and straight objects. A yardstick is for straight and long objects. A measuring tape is for objects that are not flat or straight. A 12 inch ruler is 1 foot long. They are useful for measuring straight objects less than 1 foot long such as pencils, crayons, and books. A yard stick is 36 inches long, which is equal to 3 feet. They are useful for measuring straight objects longer than 1 foot such as a desk or table. A measuring tape is 60 inches long, which is 5 feet. They are useful for measuring curved, bent, or difficult places like a waistline or cloth when sewing. We solve 3 problems that involve circling the best tool to use. It will be easier to measure a large object with a long measuring tool and a small object with a short measuring tool.
