I was looking for something to help my adult education students. Perfect! How about you develop a similar one for the metric system (cm) since once students practice that using this style - wow, they'd really understand and retain both! Super job! Terrific!

We learned it in school, but for some reason it's never quite caught on over here. I think it's because we've always been taught how to convert between English Standard and Metric and that was more of the focus than just on using the metric system by itself. Oh well, maybe one day we'll be there. You would be surprised at the number of educators that have asked for a metric version of the game saying that their students really need it. I've been hesitant to develop it because of the very reason that you mention---I've never thought that reading a metric ruler is something that one would need to learn and practice.

I am from continental Europe and I've never thought that reading ruler is something one has to learn and exercise. Decimal system rules. Miles, yards, feet, inches and parts of inches are strange!
