How to Play the Game
Objective: Measure objects accurately and solve measurement conversion questions to score points and build a high streak!

1. Choose a Level:
   Level 1 (Measure from 0): Look at where the object ends on the ruler and click the option that matches its length in cm.
   Level 2 (Drag & Align to 0): Click and drag the object until its left edge lines up perfectly with 0 on the ruler. Check where the right edge lands to find its true length!
   Level 3 (Inches & Feet Conversion): Convert between m and cm using the core rule: 1 m = 100 cm.
   
2. Select Your Answer: Click one of the 4 choice buttons below the ruler/card.
   
3. Earn Points: Correct answers reward you with 10 points plus a bonus multiplier for consecutive correct answers (streaks).
   
4. Advance: Click “Next Question ➔” to keep practicing and try to beat your top score!

Educational Summary & Learning Objectives
The game introduces young learners to linear metric measurement using a standard 15 cm scale, mirroring real-world primary classroom rulers. It addresses common student misconceptions—such as ignoring baseline alignment or miscounting tick marks—by physically requiring alignment in Level 2. The progression from visual reading to abstract unit conversion supports cognitive scaffolding from concrete to symbolic reasoning.

Teachers’ Guide
Target Grade Level: Grades 1 to 3 (Ages 6–9)
Core Standards Supported: Measuring lengths using rulers; understanding baseline alignment; converting larger units to smaller units (1 m = 100 cm)

Classroom Integration Ideas
Math Center Station: Assign Level 1 and 2 as a digital warm-up before handing students physical 15 cm rulers and real classroom items (pencils, paperclips, crayons).
Targeted Intervention: Use Level 2 specifically for students who struggle with understanding why objects must align with 0 rather than the edge of the physical ruler.
Whole-Class Assessment: Use Level 3 as a quick digital exit ticket when transitioning from measuring in centimeters to understanding meters.
