My generation was raised with Imperial before Oz went to Metric. Fractions was drummed into us at school from very young age along with every thing else. So I am lucky I understand both systems.

OMG Maymay OMG *tears* We do have something in common as ruler lines do the same thing to me and when I saw your big VISUAL it was an AHA moment.....because as you know......I AM a VISUAL LEARNER. Ya know I'm doing a Screen Shot of your BIG ruler with all the numbers and tacking it on my bulletin board. Girl YOU are a GREAT TEACHER!! Thanks always for all you do and the ways you do it!! YOU SO SO SO SO ROCK!! Joan Smith

Thank you so much Maymay! I am horrible at math and figuring out a ruler stresses me out. I'm going to reference this video a lot until it sticks in my brain. ❤️

I am glad I am not the only one!

Wow. Where were you in my math classes? Great advice! Thank you.🌻

THANK YOU.....I needed that visual. I learn better that way. It sticks in my brain better.

I am not good at math but I was pretty good at fractions, so a ruler is easy for me. You did a great job explaining the tic marks, Maymay. Should make it much easier for those who struggle with it.

You did a great job explaining this. My dad was a carpenter so I’ve never had problems with measuring but lots of people do..

BRAVA!!!!! I have cut more fabric and papers incorrectly because my brain “just says no!” Thank you so much for this visual aid. 👏🏽🙌🏽💜

I’ve always been terrible with math and I don’t think any of my elementary teachers ever explained it that well. Thank you for helping this 66 year old get it through her head. 🙂

My teachers tried. It just didn't stick. Started scrapbooking @ 30 where I really needed to know. All of the tic marker yikes! Of course I knew the basics because of 💰. And following recipes. Thanks to my teachers for that. So grateful. Blessings

MEASURE MATH, LOVE IT! I have several types of rulers that markings are or look different and I didn't understand why. Visually this really helped. I think I can read any ruler now. Thanks for sharing.

I too struggle with measuring, any math for that matter. Thanks 🙏 for the simple ideas.

Thanks, numbers and narh are like a puzzle in my head. I ALWAYS struggle with numbers and math. They seem to float around my brain and Iit’s hard to organize them in my head. I can't do math in my head. Thanks again for the tips. God bless.

I absolutely love math and always have even in my youth. (I’m 71) Excellent explanation Maymay!😘

😅thank you, thank you, thank you. You have explained this so well. I whised my teachers taught this this well. It takes on who has math issues to teach another 5 stars. !!!

Love this. Always been bad about reading a ruler. I always did the inch number followed by ticky marks. So it was 3' with 7 ticky marks.

I couldn't read the smaller #'s on a ruler until I started making cards & now it's easy peesy. Great tutorial. 😊

This was so helpful. My husband is a carpenter and he always has to re-explain how to read the ruler for me😂

Thank you for this.. I always have trouble.. HUGS n THANKS 😊 🤗

Very good presentation = Thank you.

Great way to describe an inch on a ruler.

What a neat way to explain!! 🎉

Hello friend. Very nice sharing my friend. Full support from Morocco 🌹👍

Thank you so much. That makes it where I can understand it

I luv this always have problems with measuring and reading a ruler.

This really helped. Thanks

Thank you so much. I am printing this out!

AHHHH. The light bulb just went on! THANK YOU for this explanation. 8-)

Gee maymay YOU broke this down easy peasy yes yes yes

That is so helpful, I’ve been wondering how to measure

Love, Love this video

Thank you so much in the uk we are taught metric...so I have always struggled with inches lol x

Thank you for this tutorial, i think it will help alot of people.

Thank you!!!

MayMay, thank you for sharing your awesome thoughts! This is a great tutorial!!!!

GREAT tutorial! I have always been able to read a ruler, but I know I could not have taught how to measure as clear and concise as you have. I think you have made a lot of people very happy!

You really broke this down to be super helpful!

Clear & Thanks!

Very helpful

Oh my gosh I finally get it “see it”, Thank you so much. I am starting a kitchen remodel on my own and was struggling with the measurements so this is perfect timing.🎉

Thanks so much, Maymay. I struggle a bit with things like 3/8ths but if I am patient enough I can do it.

Thanks so much!

I find it interesting that you calll the division of 4 parts of an inch as 4th, I live in Australia and we were told they are quarters, funny how we can say the same thing in different ways and it still makes sense,! 😊

It's taken me a long time to understand the measurements on a ruler. I've gotten some of it, but I sometimes still have trouble. This did help me see what each line means.

nice job Maymay! i feel fortunate that me “measure math” is on point👍🏼 but please don’t ask me about calculus or trigonometry!😅

I took a screen shot of the ruler with all the fractions on it. I printed it and now I have a very readable way to see eighths and 16ths. Thank you, thank you!! 😊

You can also just count those little lines and find how many 16ths you have or want. And then convert! So…one, two, three little lines is 3/16ths. One, two, three, four little lines is 4/16ths or 2/8 or 1/4ths. Sorry, ex-math teacher.

You need to make a ser of rulers. Clear rulers with just 16ths..another with just 8ths and another with just quarters. Sell them as a set

Maymay This Tutorial will hep so many that can’t understand it or have vision problems. In the Score Board I Color Code the lines 1/16 Red 1/8 Orange 3/16. Yellow and so on. For the First entire Inch. Than Repeat same colors Second Inch. Hope you Follow. Also keep a copy of your color code ruler on paper by scoring a paper and color it in. One can even Laminate it. Learn this from Xannero1 over 10 years ago she made this video.

I taught myself to read a ruler when I started making cards, I was in my 30s then! 😂

This just blew my mind why did this seem so hard for 52 years??? Holy crap, so actually it wasn’t me it was the teaching. Not dyslexia, it was dysteachia after all!!

👍

I really have trouble knowing how to use my paper trimer,

This is genius. Thank you 💞

Do you have any tactile ruler with raise lines. I'm visually impaired I'm looking for something that I can easily use. However I have a braille ruler but it only it can only measure by 1/4" 1/2" 3/4" and 1" it doesn't have the 8's or the 16's

Hi, we don't have a ruler with raised numbers in the store. I did find a few rulers with large numbers and braille, if this is something that might be helpful let me know and I can get you those links, thanks
