Measuring Maths

We have been learning about measuring accurately. We have been using measuring tools like rulers. We are using millimeters, centimeters and meters.

I learnt...
you need to mark from the first centimeter line on the ruler. Rebecca
a centimeter is bigger than a millimeter. Milly
you need to measure from a starting point. Max
you need to decide the starting point and stand at that point when throwing the plane so you can measure accurately. Georgina
you can measure long distances with a ruler by making marks and using the ruler again. Jamie
that if you want to measure accurately, mm,cm,m are the most accurate units. George
that it is easier to measure a long distance with 2 rulers. Sasha
you need to mark the plane landing by the part that is closest to the line you throw from because we need to all have the same way of measuring. Chloe
you always need to write mm or cm or m to show the correct distance. Ethan
a cm is bigger than a mm. Reece
to keep my foot beha=ind the line because that would measure more accurately. Hamish
you can 300cm if you have 3m. Venka
you can write 132cm as 1.32m Izaak
some things are harder to measure, like the couch because it has curved edges. Benjamin
you have to measure from the 0cm line not the end of the ruler. Tim
you can mark and reuse the ruler to measure longer distances. Marco
1.56m means 1m and 56cm Rebecca
that if you want to measure the distance between places on a map you can use the scale. Sasha
that a scalw is a line that has marks that show cm and how far the cm is worth, like 10,000km for 1cm. Fergus
