UPDATE: See the new, alternative reading scales resource.
An excellent interactive resource – will be using this again and again! A great find. Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback. I intend to evolve this resource a little and put a few more types of scales in, with more lines of demarcation for more challenging reading. Don’t worry though; these will be addtions to what is already there.

A fantastic resource! I found it very hard to find any resources to do with reading scales between two divisions. Thank you
I am a teacher and always struggled to find decent ‘reading scales’ type material. Kids of 7-9 years loved it – a great teaching aid.
This is brilliant – just what I needed. Thank you!
Just what I was looking for, thank you so much.
Brilliant, I teach adults on a numeracy Skills for Life course. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks. Shelagh G
The children loved it – this area of maths is very under sourced – thanks!
It is the most used resource on this site so I think you are right! So much so I am working on an update to it which I hope will be ready soon…
A brilliant resource. Does anyone have any extensions for year 6?
I’m currently working on a new version with more complex demarcation. Watch this space…
Superb! Exactly what I needed…..
Really pleased to find this resource.
Saved me heaps of time.
I’d appreciate recieving an updated version.

A very useful resource. I am not sure if the tachometer should say “x1000”. It didn’t stop me using it however. Very successful lesson.
Well spotted! I put the X1000 and put the scale digits at the thousands. I will correct this soon. Thanks for letting me know.
Excellent resource, many thanks!

What are the chances you could throw in some scales with Fahrenheit and pounds for your American neighbors? I use your scales no matter what the measurement for elementary children with special needs and they love it!!
Fab resource, thanks! 🙂
I’ll try and find time to do this or it might appear in a new update of this.

This is a fantastic resource. We were looking for ages for something with a variety of different real life scales. Thank you so much. It would be great if we could download these as well.
