Skill Builder helps introduce students to reading the increments on a micrometer that may be encountered out in the field. Students master the skill more quickly when they are looking at the same image as the instructor. Instead of trying to interpret what they are seeing over someone’s shoulder, they will grasp the concept faster practicing with the cards.

Communication is more effective. Discuss how to read the micrometer and check for common mistakes, such as reading the wrong mark.
