How to draw a large scale drawing of an inch and add values under each fraction?
You need to explain more clearly what you want.
Students will re-create a poster (81/2 X 11) on regular size illustrating an inch from a ruler. The parts of the inch should be labeled to 16ths of the inch.
You could scan a ruler on a computer, crop the image to a one-inch segment, label the appropriate values and enlarge that to the size you want. Or you could enlarge it before labeling it.
Another alternative is to draw a one inch segment of a ruler to the scale of 1" = 10" and label those divisions.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Easiest to me is to draw two vertical lines 8 inches apart. Then draw shorter vertical lines at each half inch.
To draw a large scale drawing of an inch and add values under each fraction, follow these steps:
1. Start by preparing your materials. You'll need a large piece of paper, such as a poster board or drawing paper, a ruler, a pencil, and a pen or marker for adding values.
2. Determine the scale you want to use for your drawing. A scale represents the relationship between the size of the drawing and the actual object. For example, if you choose a scale of 1:10, it means that 1 inch on your drawing represents 10 inches in real life.
3. Measure the size of your paper. Let's say your paper is 20 inches wide. If you want to draw an inch at a 1:10 scale, divide the width of your paper (20 inches) by 10. This will give you the width you should allocate for drawing one inch. In this case, 2 inches.
4. Use your ruler and pencil to draw a horizontal line that is 2 inches long at the bottom of your paper. This represents one inch in your drawing.
5. Divide this line into smaller fractions using your ruler. Start by dividing it in half to mark 1/2 inch, then divide each half into halves again to mark 1/4 and 3/4 inches. Finally, divide the remaining quarters in half to mark 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, and 7/8 inches.
6. Once you have the fractions marked, write the corresponding values below each fraction. For example, under the line segment of 1/2 inch, write "1/2 inch" or "0.5 inches." Do the same for all the other fractions until you reach the end of the line.
7. If desired, you can label the entire inch at the start of the line by writing "1 inch" or "1.0 inches" at the left end.
8. You can now go over your pencil lines with a pen or marker to make the drawing more visible. Be sure not to accidentally erase your pencil markings while doing this.
By following these steps, you can create a large-scale drawing of an inch with labeled fractions. Remember to adjust the measurements according to your desired scale and paper size.
