I can… • Measure and express metric lengths precisely Self Assessment 5 - I can do it without help & teach others. 4 - I can do this with no help, but I don’t know if I can explain it. 3 - I can do this with a little help. 2 - I can do this with a lot of help! 1 - I don’t have a clue.

Metric Units of Length 1 mm = 0. 1 cm 1 mm = 0.

Metric Units of Length 1 mm = 0. 1 cm 1 mm = 0. 001 m 1 cm = 10 mm 1 cm = 0. 01 m millimeter 1 m = 1000 mm 1 m = 100 cm centimeter

Steps for Measuring Length • Always start by lining up the object you’re measuring

Steps for Measuring Length • Always start by lining up the object you’re measuring with zero on the ruler. • Hold the ruler with your left hand. • Read the last number on your ruler that is below the object.

Let’s Practice! 7 centimeters

Steps for Measuring Length • If the object’s length doesn’t land exactly on a

Steps for Measuring Length • If the object’s length doesn’t land exactly on a number, read the closest centimeter to the left. • Next, count the number of millimeter marks. • Remember that a millimeter is 1/10 of a centimeter. 2 centimeters + 8 millimeters = 2. 8 cm (0. 8 cm) (2 cm)

Let’s Practice! 4 centimeters + 6 millimeters = 4. 6 cm (4 cm) (0.

Let’s Practice! 4 centimeters + 6 millimeters = 4. 6 cm (4 cm) (0. 6 cm)

Measure to the nearest millimeter 4 centimeters + 6 millimeters = 4. 6 cm

Measure to the nearest millimeter 4 centimeters + 6 millimeters = 4. 6 cm (4 cm) (0. 6 cm) 4. 6 cm X 10 = 46 mm

Measure to the nearest meter 5 centimeters + 1 millimeters = 5. 1 cm

Measure to the nearest meter 5 centimeters + 1 millimeters = 5. 1 cm (5 cm) (0. 1 cm) 0. 51 m

Let’s Practice! 5 centimeters + 7 millimeters = 5. 7 cm (5 cm) (0.

Let’s Practice! 5 centimeters + 7 millimeters = 5. 7 cm (5 cm) (0. 7 cm)

Measure to the nearest meter! 5 centimeters + 7 millimeters = 5. 7 cm

Measure to the nearest meter! 5 centimeters + 7 millimeters = 5. 7 cm (5 cm) (0. 7 cm) 0. 57 m

Measure to the nearest millimeter! 5 centimeters + 7 millimeters = 5. 7 cm

Measure to the nearest millimeter! 5 centimeters + 7 millimeters = 5. 7 cm (5 cm) (0. 7 cm) 57 mm
