Measuring Length in Metres
Help plan a mini walking track. Use metres (m) for longer lengths and centimetres (cm) for shorter lengths. Remember: 1 m = 100 cm. Write units with every measurement.
Choose and estimate
Think about which unit makes each measurement easy to understand.
1.The park path is about 24 __ long. Should the blank be m or cm?
- m
- cm
2.Which object is most likely to be about 1 metre long? Choose one.
- A desk is about 1 m long.
- A pencil is about 1 m long.
- A football field is about 1 m long.
3.The walking track sign shows a distance of 4 m. Find 4 on the number line. Which two labelled metre marks sit either side of 4?
Convert and compare
Use the fact that 100 cm makes 1 m.
4.A strip of green tape is 60 cm long. How many more centimetres of tape are needed to make 1 m?
5.One path piece is 2 m long and another is 150 cm long. Which piece is longer, and by how much?
6.Two straight path pieces are 3 m and 4 m long. What is their total length?
Solve the park puzzle
Use the measurements to help finish the track plan.
7.The whole track is 10 m long. The first section is 6 m. How long is the section still to build?
8.A 250 cm rope is longer than a 2 m rope. Write true or false and show the conversion that helped you decide.
9.Write these lengths from shortest to longest: 1 m, 90 cm, 120 cm.
10.Draw a simple track made from two straight sections. Label the first section 3 m and the second section 2 m. Then write the total track length.
