The Ruler Project
Project Description:
You have been hired by BAZIC ruler company to create an art piece for a wall in their office. They have given you a piece of wood larger than the size of a normal 12” ruler, but they want you to create a “to scale” 12” ruler on the wood to hang and display to customers. BAZIC prides itself on the accuracy of its rulers, so it is extremely important that the art piece is accurate as well. You must not cut or trim the wood in any way...they have measured it perfectly for the space on the wall. |
Project Timeline:
You have ONE week to complete this project.
Requirements:
All pairs will create an accurately scaled 12” ruler on their piece of wood. Finished rulers will be marked using Sharpie black markers and the inches will be labeled using vinyl numbers provided. A rough draft of the ruler on paper must be approved by your teacher before moving to the wood and approval of pencil markings on wood must be made by teacher before moving on to marker & vinyl. In addition, you must keep a journal of your daily work and will present a 5-step process to making your ruler at the end of the week. You will be given grades in ActiveGrade for Math and for Craftsmanship according to the following requirements:

You will be given grades in ActiveGrade for Math and for Craftsmanship according to the following requirements:
Math
- Mild requirements (2 points, yellow) - Twelve 1-inch markings properly labeled on wooden ruler to scale (all 1 inch segments are exactly the same length) using black vinyl numbers.
- Medium requirements (3 points, yellow) - same as Mild requirements above plus ½ inch and ¼ inch markings for all 12 inches accurately measured and labeled on wooden ruler. ½ inch markings should be longer than ¼ inch markings.
- Spicy requirements (4 points, green)- same as Medium requirements above plus ⅛ inch and 1/16 inch markings for all 12 inches accurately measured and labeled on wooden ruler. ½ ¼ ⅛ and 1/16 markings should all be consistently sized largest to smallest.
Craftsmanship
- Wooden ruler will be accurately marked with straight lines of appropriate length
- Vinyl numbers will be applied straight and centered at the one inch markings
- No additional markings will be made on the ruler
