Maths: metres and centimetres

First we looked at our homework from yesterday. We were all able to match the correct measurements. Now we need to make sure we remember them, because they will be very useful to us all the way through school.


After that we had some experience of estimating measurements. Estimating does NOT mean guessing! Guesses are not based on anything. When we estimate, we use what we already know, and we think carefully. We estimated well today. Finally we looked at three different ways of writing the same measurements. You can see the ways on the board above. Click to enlarge, as usual. The decimals are easy because they all follow a pattern. Mo is the hardest, but the pattern is still the same.
