Suppose that you use a centimeter ruler and measure that a pieceof string is 7 cm long. Explain how to interpret that length as 7of “something.” As part of your explanation, discuss:
how to see those “somethings” on the ruler,
why those “somethings” are not tick marks, and
what kind of measurement error can occur when students viewthose “somethings” as tick marks.
