===Activity Ruler===
 +
====Activity Summary====
 +
The activity Ruler offers a collection of metric tools that can be printed or used
 +
directly on the screen. The student can make the geometry through measurement of
 +
length, angles and calculations of areas and perimeters. The teacher may need to
 +
print rules, rapporteurs (half circle), leaves and leaf grid
 +
millimeter.
 +
====Affordances of the activity====
 +
* Students can measure the length of an object (pen, pencil, phone
 +
portable).
 +
* Students can measure an angle formed by two rods for example.
 +
* Students can calculate the areas of squares, rectangles on a grid.
 +
* Students can use grid sheets to make plans and draw
 +
graphics.
 +
====Degree of centrality of the activity====
 +
Measuring length and angles, the calculation of areas and perimeters of squares and
 +
rectangles are skills required for students in the fourth grade. The use
 +
Ruler of the activity presents a high degree of centrality.
 +
====Application pédagogique 1====
 +
====''Measuring length and angles''====
 +
''Level (s)'': 4th grade of primary
 +
 +
''Knowledge'': The perimeter of a shape or object and the angle.
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +
Calculate the perimeter and measure the angle.
 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
The teacher asks students to launch the Ruler and select the first frame.
 +
With the rule that is on their screen, they must measure the lengths of small objects
 +
in front of them.
 +
 +
He asked them to select the second view and use the rapporteur at
 +
screen for measuring angles formed by two rods, two pens.
 +
====Application pédagogique 2====
 +
====''Discover formulas perimeter and area, use these formulas to make
 +
calculations''====
 +
''Level (s)'': 4th grade of primary
 +
 +
''Knowledge'': The perimeter and area
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +
Making the calculations of perimeter and area
 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
Students are invited to start the activity Ruler, click on the tab and select Ruler
 +
the third tool.
 +
 +

 +
On this grid, they must identify a square and discover the formula for the perimeter of this
 +
square by counting the number of subdivisions on each side. They will then identify
 +
Other squares in which they will calculate the perimeter using the formula found.
 +
 +
On this grid, they must also identify a rectangle and find the formula for the perimeter
 +
of this rectangle by counting the number of subdivisions on each side. They will then
 +
identify other rectangles which they will calculate the perimeter using the formula
 +
discovery.
 +
 +
The second phase is to identify on a square grid and calculate its area in
 +
counting the number of small squares that are inside the square. The child discovers
 +
Thus the formula for the area of the square. With this formula, students will identify other
 +
squares and calculate their areas.
 +
 +
They will take the same approach to discover the formula for the area of a rectangle
 +
and use the same formula to calculate the areas identified other rectangles.
 +
====User Guide of the Ruler====
 +
You can access the Ruler by clicking on the icon of a rule in the run home.
 +

 +
 +
Once in the activity, click on the Ruler to display the different tools
 +
measure available.
 +
<image Ruler toolbar>
 +
 +
Changing the tools by clicking on the icons shown above.
 +
 +
It is possible for the teacher to print these tools by making a catch
 +
screen by pressing the keys 1 Atl simultaneously. The screenshot will appear in
 +
the Journal. It is therefore possible for the teacher to put it on a USB key, to
 +
transfer the file to a computer linked to a printer and to print.
