Read thermometers, step by step
Reading a thermometer combines number lines with a real scale children see in weather reports and daily life.
The question
Read the thermometer
numbered every:10°C
above zero → count upwards
numbered every:10°C
30°C
- Check the numbered marks first: they go up in 10°C, so each small gap between them is worth part of that 10 — not automatically one.
- Read where the top of the liquid sits, counting up from zero.
- It reads 30°C.
