This term we have been focussing on measuring the length of
different objects using centimeters and meters. The short way to write
centimeters is cm and meters is m. When you are measuring the length of an
object you are measuring how long something is.
There are three very
important rules to remember when measuring the length of items.
They are:
- Make sure your ruler is lined up next to the object
- Start on 0 (not at the end of your ruler)
- Leave no gaps between your measuring tool

We use meters to measure long things such as a door, desk,
playground area and length of our classroom. We use centimeters to measure
smaller things such as a peg, phone, pencil and book.
We used pieces of string, which were measured to be 1 meter
long, and worked in our collaborative learning teams to measure various areas
outside. It was so much fun!
