Phil, Have used a similar approach to Kelly M. Schriver except used a sheet
of paper with lines to have them measure.  The problem with using the paper
was that each copy varied due to distortion of the copy or printer.  So
Kelly idea of using blocks would be better.  Jon  (I believe in this forum

the forum so great.)

Happy New Year All,

In our in-house training program we include not only soldering, but through
hole assembly techniques, print reading, component identification and
reading a scale or ruler. One problem we have encountered is there are some
assemblers that have no understanding of fractions.  I'm looking for a good
method of teaching fractions and what all those little lines on a ruler
mean.

Any comments?

Feel free to contact me online or offline.

Thanks in advance.

ps,  I give up. What is IMHO?  I know ROFL, LMAO and LOL, but IMHO?
