We have started one of our last (hooray) math units for the year. This is another unit in measurement. We will learn about measuring using centimetres, metres and kilometres. In addition we will learn how to calculate area and perimeter.
- the short form for centimetre is cm
- the short for for metre is m
- 1m = 100 cm
- we use kilometres to measure longer distances
- 1000 m = 1 km
- it takes about 15 minutes to walk 1 km
Here is a problem to try:
If Mrs. Linse walks around a track that is 500 metres. Have I walked a km if I walk around the track two times?
Explain your thinking.
