Units of length – m, cm, mm

These units of measurement are used

regularly in everyday life.
It makes sense to say 3
10 mm = 1 cm metres instead of 300
100 cm = 1 m centimetres.
1 000 m = 1 km

1 Complete the measure of each item below by adding either mm, cm or m next to the number:

a b c

What
to do This is an estimating game for two players.
• The first player chooses two spots.
• The second player estimates the distance between the spots in mm. Measure
from each spot’s edge.
• The second player draws a line between the spots and then measures the
distance with their ruler. They score 100 points for the right answer, 40 points for
an estimate within 10 mm, and 20 points for an estimate within 20 mm.
• The second player picks two spots for the first player.
• The player with the most points after 10 rounds wins!

Speed can be measured in kilometres per hour.
60 km per hour means that it takes 1 hour to travel 60 km and is written as 60 km/h.

a 76 km in an hour = km/h b 82 km in an hour = km/h

 The City to School create

Getting
ready Your group has been hired by your favourite charity
to organise a 1 km fun run at your school.
You will plan and measure out the course and then
get another group to test out your run.
The run needs to be exactly 1 kilometre in length.
You’ll need markers at each 100 m point.
School rules must be followed. You may need to place signs indicating speeds for
inside journeys.
The charity organisers will need detailed plans of your route and have asked your
teacher to be their auditor. He or she may check on any or all of your calculations.

What
to do • Work with your team to plan the route. Where do you predict 1 km will take
you? (You have to stay within the school grounds at all times.)

• How will you measure the distances? What tools will you need?

• If you add obstacles such as climbing over equipment, remember to factor in

the distances involved in going up and down!

• Once you have your route planned, test it out. Is it possible? Do you need
to refine it?

• How will you record the route for your charity? A map? A scaled drawing? This
is a big task in itself so you may want to divide up the roles within the group.

What to Once you think you are ready, submit your plans to your teacher. Stage your event.
