Title -  Measurement

For our strand Maths we have been looking at measurement.

We have learnt that 1 metre equals 100 cm and that there are 1000 metres in a kilometre.

We have also learned how to measure objects around our school.

The most challenging thing about measuring is measuring by mms. The activity I enjoyed most was measuring with a group.

My group measured the length of the lunch seats under the shades. and it was 1 meter . 57. This measurement can also be written as 1570mms.

This is a photo of me measuring the eating benches outside.

my favorite part of measuring is that its hard and challenging also you can choose anything you want to measure.
