Herons – Measuring in cm and m

Posted on by Miss Taylor

This morning, we have been looking at measuring using centimetres and metres. We discussed that there are 100cm in 1m. The class partnered up to measure different objects in our classroom using a 30cm ruler. If objects were slightly bigger than the ruler, we used our finger as a marker and measured the other part of the object. We then added the measurements together to find the total length. Afterwards, we used metre sticks to measure bigger objects in our classroom such as the door, the whiteboard and they even measured each other! We compared which objects were bigger or smaller than the object they had measured.
