In the future, though, probably Sugar should support a second type of applications, installable "floating" Tools, which the user could install and use in any activities.

How about a protractor? --Walter 22:03, 1 July 2007 (EDT)
And how about having a text box somewhere where kids can store down numbers (the lengths or angle measurements)? This way, a kid could summon (resume) the "measurement of his lunch box" activity.
