“Teaching the grid method is an easy thing to teach,” says, NO art teacher ever. I think the first hurdle is making sure everyone understands how to use a ruler. Let’s face it, fractions are not easy for everyone to grasp and there are a ton of little lines jammed into a very tiny space. Measuring can be confusing. I think this lesson has made the process a little less stressful. I even left it for my students to use with a sub, how crazy is that!?!? To my surprise, almost everyone did a fantastic job. I hope this helps you out in the land of “Rulers and Grids”.
