We will be covering fractions (reducing, adding, subtracting), but I also need materials with specific, step by step instructions on how to read a tape measure (to 16ths of an inch). Does anyone have suggestions of either textbooks with relevant units on this, or a website with specific lesson plans? I have searched math teaching website, to no avail so far. The students' are at a 3rd/4th grade reading level. Thanks! Jennifer __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
