Reading Scales 2
February 18th, 2009 · 6 Comments
An update to the most frequently used interactive whiteboard resouce on this site. A variety of measuring devices can be shown on the screen grouped together in themes. Use the arrow buttons to select between them. Click the “New” button to generate a new set of readings.
More than one device is shown on screen to allow for the differentiation between abilities during a class questioning session. Some devices have more complex demarcation than others. Some devices will always move to a whole mark on the scale others allow a measurement to fall in between. Those devices where the demarcation may be difficult to read from a distance use a magnifying mechanism alongside them.
Reading scales 2 interactive white board resource.
The original reading scales resource. On the whole this uses more straightforward scales so may be useful for introducing the concept.
If you have any suggestions for new measuring scales for this resource or encounter any problems please leave a comment.

I’m glad you like the tools. I’m sorry I can’t really answer your questions as I have little experience with the age range/SEN you describe. Perhaps others may be able to help. They are welcome to respond here.

Sorry the resources are for using on-line only. The downloading of them is against the terms and conditions of the site. This is the only way that the site can be free to use.

Wonderful resource appropriate for SQA Level 3 & 4 Numeracy taught at this FE college. Links to the resource have been placed on our VLE for both student independant and staff classroom use.
