INTERACTIVE MOVIES - LENGTH

These resources require the plug in Flash Player 6 for viewing. Some of these movies may require you to interact (i.e. answer a question, click a button, drag and drop and item) with the content as the movie is played. These movies were designed to give you an overall introduction to particular topics of mathematical study. Many of these movies have sound associated with them so you will need to make sure the volume is turned up on your computer.

• Measuring Length - This overview introduces the concept of length, use of appropriate measurement units, conversion of measurement units, and calculation of perimeter (discovery of formulas). PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT PROCEED FASTER THAN THE NARRATION OR THE NARRATIVES WILL BEGIN TO OVERLAP. If it any time you want to move along faster, you may use the volume control to turn the narration off.
• Magic Ruler - A "virtual ruler" can be manipulated to practice applying knowledge about measurement.
