I generally introduce fourth grade students to 1 point perspective and properly using rulers as a straight edge. As a part of that lesson, we first practice using the ruler as a straight edge. I am always surprised that 4th graders struggle with this mastery but have learned that using rulers has pretty much been dropped from their math curriculum. A conversation on Facebook recently encouraged me to attempt the ruler process with my Kindergarten students instead. I started by telling them that the 4th graders struggled with this skill and I knew they would really show them up with their successes. Needless to add, they jumped at the opportunity to demonstrate a still that the older students had difficulty with. The kinders did not disappoint. After drawing lines with their rulers, I used 6" rulers, students then searched for any shapes they had created in the line work and colored them in. This created a nice non-objective work of art that measures up really nicely. I'd frame some of these!!!
