Maths 20th April
Measuring
You need to use a ruler or a tape measure to help you with this work.
We could
also say the lolly stick measures 10 centimetres and 5 millimetres or 10 cm and 5 mm.
The
millimetres are the small lines between the centimetres. Can you see them on
your ruler or tape measure?
10
millimetres make 1 whole centimetre.
So 10 cm 5 mm
or 10.5 cm is 10 whole centimetres
and 5 millimetres from the next
centimetre.
Can you find
some objects from your house or garden to measure?
You could estimate
(make a sensible guess) of how long the object is.
Draw a chart
like the one below to complete your answers.
