Hi all, I was wondering if any of you had any idea just where I could go to acquire a nice (preferably wooden) meterstick. The reason I ask is that my mother homsechooles both my sister and my brother and they recently switched to using a curriculum from the UK that is of course in all SI.
The previous curriculua they have used has had maths problems in a mixture of USC and SI, and so getting used to the SI only measures has not been a problem for either one of the kids. However, many fruitless trips around town has led me to believe that the meterstick must be one rare measurement animal in the US. My grandmother had a meterstick that she got while in Tahiti in 1982 but someone appears to have thrown it out long ago. Any ideas? Mike -- "The boy is dangerous, they all sense it why can't you?"
