For the next few weeks in Maths we will be looking at length and perimeter. To start the unit of we went on a measuring hunt and measured different objects in the playground. We chose appropriate equipment and used the correct units of measure.
What unit (m, cm or mm) would you use to measure the following?
A house
An ant
A pencil
The playground
A spider
A house=m
A ant=mm
A pencil=cm
The playground=m
Big spider=cm
Small spider=mm.
On our tapes and sticks we can see all the mm, cm and m.
mm is only a tiny bit on our ruler we can see little lines and they are called millimetres.
cm is only 10 of the little lines on our rulers we can count 10 little lines to become a centimetre.
m is like a whole stick and is called metres.
How many millimetres are there in a centimetre?
Their is 10 millimetres in a centimetre.
A house m
An ant cm
An pencil cm
An playground m
An spider cm or m
An ant mm
a house m
A pencil cm
