The task for maths was to measure the length of three things in the classroom using standard forms of measurement. Length is how long an object or item is.
We first wrote down the standard forms of measuring length, and they are: mm (millimetres), cm (centimetres), M (metre) and km (kilometres).
After that we estimated the length of the three objects we chose. Estimation is an educated guess. Then we measured the items with a ruler or metre ruler.
Lastly, we converted the form of measurement to one up and one down a unit. For example: if our measurement was in cm and it was 37cm we converted it to mm and m. To convert centimetres to millimetres we times the number by 10. However, if you were to convert centimetres to metres divide the number by 100.
