Teacher Directions

• Have students complete the riddles by leaving the
  template in working mode and moving the sign
  over the units that will not be the answer.
• Once students complete the riddles, they can
  change to slide show mode and click to check
  their answer.
• Starting with slide 8, students can look to see
  how they are supposed to set up their next
  slides. (they may then delete slides 8,9 and 10.)
• You can have them make as many additional slides
  by downloading their own pictures as you want,
  and ask them to either identify the units used to
  measure the objects in the picture or you may
  want them to set up a riddle of their own for
  others to try to answer.
