Measure-Matic

Measure-Matic is a software application that educators use to teach measurement concepts. Primarily an educational tool, the program's rulers can be customized to varying levels of complexity (i.e., sixteenth-inch, eighth-inch, quarter-inch, etc.), depending the age and skill of the user.

The software currently includes four levels of the Standard English, one 32nd inch, one 64th inch, three Metric, and ten English Architectural scale rulers.

The Standard English, Metric, and English Architect scale rulers are available at different levels of complexity allowing students to be tested with a specific ruler at a range they feel comfortable.

The ten Architect scale rulers can be navigated with both inch and foot graduations. These rulers will prove to be very helpful for anyone who needs to acquire experience with reading and/or writing scaled drawings.

The program can be implemented as a network solution on a local area network (LAN) and/or client-based solution on individual computers.
