Measure a rectangle. Open Measure and slowly scan nearby objects onscreen. When iPad detects the edges of a rectangular object, a box frames the object; tap the box to see the dimensions.
Measure manually. Find the dot in the center of the screen. Place this dot over a point you want to start measuring, then tap Add to add a point. Slowly pan iPad to the end point, then tap Add
to see the measured length.
Snap a photo. Tap the Shutter button to take a photo of your measurement. Take another measurement, or tap Clear to start over.
Go further. Use Freeform and Apple Pencil to create a scaled drawing of a classroom (or a designated area). You can measure real‑world objects and draw them on your board at a reduced scale.
Calculate the volume of a three‑dimensional shape, like a pyramid, cylinder, or cone. Measure its dimensions, then calculate using the formula for that shape.
Practice your estimation skills. Find a rectangular prism around your room with a length of twice its height. Predict its dimensions, then measure it. Compare the measurements to your prediction.
