Abstract
This study focuses on investigating the strategies that are used to measure length by using two broken rulers by second grade students that can measure length using a normal ruler. As per the results of the study, when students measure length using broken rulers, the strategies they use are counting units, thinking of the starting point as 0 and reading the number corresponding to the hash mark, and using subtraction to get the number of units of length. Also, some errors were observed in the study. Some students thought of the starting point as 1 and read the number corresponding to the hash mark. Another students unconditionally read the number of the end point. Based on the results of the analysis, some significant implications for the teaching and learning of the measurement domain were derived.
