In our Building Benches and Measuring Tools unit, third graders are diving into fractions, exploring how to compare them with equal or different denominators. They're also learning to divide various "wholes" into halves, thirds, quarters, and beyond. As part of their hands-on learning, students designed their own precise rulers, explaining how to mark and label measurements without relying on a standard ruler.
