Discount Transparent Inchworms Rulers
I homeschool my children and ordered these to help the kids transition from non-standard to standard units of measurement. The "inch" bars are wonderful tools for a child just starting out. They are a bit bendy, so I'm sure they will snap as soon as someone really tries to bend them, for for daily, general use, they should hold up just fine. I wish they came individually. I kept three and donated the rest to a local kindergarten classroom. mI purchased the inchworms, the inchworm rulers, and the multi-sized worms along with Leo Lioni's inch by inch to compliment the Sid the science kid non-standard measurement exploration. My three year old and I spent a week exploring the different kinds of measurements. These tools were fantastic! We used the inchworms to measure all kinds of things, even mommy and daddy. My daughter loves to measure with her worms! I think these tools really helped hammer in the concept in a fun and interesting way. Bonus, we got to use the tub of worms for our estimation exercise. I just wish i could get the cards so we could do even more activities!
