The first thing you would notice
about this question is that it requires an answer
to the question and an explanation of your answer,
for a possible two points for your response.
To begin, state your answer to
the question, which student had a measurement that
was more precise? Your answer should be the student
using toothpicks.
With your answer you want to be sure to include
an explanation to support your selection. In your
explanation you would need to include something
about the smaller the units you measure with the
more precise your measurements will be. Since a
toothpick is much smaller than a broomstick, measuring
with a toothpick would make your measurement of
the room more precise.
