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.

The children loved it – this area of maths is very under sourced – thanks!

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.
20 Spencer // Feb 22, 2010 at 11:32 pm
Well spotted! I put the X1000 and put the scale digits at the thousands. I will correct this soon. Thanks for letting me know.

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!!
