. Then label the 1/4-inch marks |
| and 3/4-inch marks. Where on this ruler is the 2/4 point? How about 1 2/4 inch point? | ||
2. Compare this ruler to the previous one. Find again the 1/2-inch
marks, and then 1/4-inch and 3/4-inch marks. The remainin unmarked
tickmarks signify eighth parts. Label them. Where on this ruler is
the 2/8-inch point? Where is the 6/8-inch point? How are they
labeled?
3. Compare this ruler to the previous one. Find again the 1/2-inch
marks, and then 1/4-inch and 3/4-inch marks. Then label the 1/8-inch,
3/8-inch, 5/8-inch, and 7/8-inch marks. What parts do the unmarked marks
signify? If you still have room to write, label them too, and if not, just
practice them by find them and reading the tickmark values one by one from 0

P.S. ....
| Check out these short video clips from my favorite band - Rockabilly.US. They play oldies, Elvis, country, and top hits of the 50s and 60s. It's a show with large band, costumes, choreography, little skits, "Kid Kritters", 6 dancing/singing girls, junior dancer troupe, etc. | |
|
"Be My Baby" originally by the Ronettes |
Impossible Dream (Elvis song) |
| Most importantly, the band wants to use the uplifting and energetic music to bring some fun, happiness and encouragement into people's lives. They're doing it selflessly to help others, and don't get paid for any of it themselves. And I admire that! | |
