Converting units
Sometimes we can give a measurement in
two different ways.
For example, cm and m or m and km
This is called converting
Centimeters and Metres
These are metre sticks.
1m = 100 cm
Centimeters and Meters
Where is ½ way?
½ a metre is 50 cm
What is ½ of 50cm?
What is ½ of 50cm?
½ of 50cm = 25cm
We call this ¼
We call this 2/4 or ½
We call this 3/4
¾ of a metre = 25cm +
50cm
¾ of a metre = _____ cm

Can you find the cards to match the
number that I write on the board:
Work alone
Example: 3½m
50cm 50cm
4¼m
7 ¾m
2½m
8¼m
3 ¾m
5 2/4 m
1¾m
9½m
Fill in your table and
colour nicely so you can
keep it to study:
1m=100cm
50cm= ½ m 50cm = ½ m
25cm= ¼ m 25cm= ¼ m 25cm= ¼ m 25cm= ¼ m
3 ½ m = ______cm
5 1/4 m = ______cm
