Family Note
Today your child measured life-size pictures of objects to the nearest inch and half-inch. Because
1 _
standard notation for fractions (_
, 1 ) has not been introduced, we recorded half-inch measures with
2 3
fraction words such as one-half or 1-half. Pick a few objects and take turns with your child measuring
each one to the nearest inch and half-inch. Compare your measurements to ensure they are the same.
Please return this Home Link to school tomorrow.
Cut out the 6-inch ruler below. Use it to measure these l ine
segments to the nearest inch.
