Tool training is an independent warm-up for using the on-screen tools. It is not a test, not an official assessment, and not affiliated with any assessment provider. Nothing here is scored and no results are recorded.

Ruler — training

Practise using this tool. This warm-up is not scored and is not part of any test.

What this tool does

Add a ruler and use it to draw a straight line.

This is a tool warm-up, not a test. It shows you how the tool works — there is no score and nothing here counts toward your mastery.

What you'll learn

Line the ruler up and draw or measure a straight edge.

How to use it

  1. Add the ruler to the board.
  2. Start measuring from the zero mark, not the end of the ruler.
  3. Draw a straight segment along the ruler and read its length.

The ruler is a board object. Draw a segment with the pen, or insert a line/segment shape with the keyboard.

Try it yourself

  1. Add a ruler to the board.
  2. On your own: Now draw a straight line segment on the board.

Now: Add a ruler to the board.

Loading tool…

Add the ruler, then draw a line or a segment along it.
