Monday: Measure in inches
Lizzy the Lizard peers at a twig through her magnifying glass.
"I wonder how long this twig is," she says.
Bennie the Bear hands her a ruler.
"Put the end of the twig at 0," says Bennie.
"Then read the number at the other end."
Lizzy writes the answer in her notebook.
Learn it: line up at 0

Each space from one mark to the next is 1 inch.
