In our world what would we measure with the

millimetre unit and why is this unit useful?

Millimetres, Centimetres and Metres

Create large shapes on the floor using masking tape.

Measure them by following your lines with string and then measuring the string using a metre stick.

How would this measurement change if you used a different unit of measurement? m? cm? mm? Try each one!

Converting Units

Perimeter and Area- Rectangleshttp://www.amathsdictionaryforkids.com/dictionary.html

Perimeter - The area around something◦Perimeter of a rectangle = l + l + w

+ w

Area – the amount of space an object covers◦Area of a rectangle = length x width

Find the PerimeterPerimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w or 2 (l +

w) Create as many rectangles as you can with

This bottle is1 L of water.

A millilitre is about 20 drops of water.

Capacity - ConversionComplete page 17 of student booklet

To convert from litres (L) to millilitres (ml) you must multiply by 1 000

1 L = 1 000 ml

To convert from millilitres (ml) to litres (L) you must divide by 1 000

1 000 ml = 1 L
