We continued practicing measuring using metres, centimetres and millimetres. We also practiced expressing measurements using different units.
Example:
452 cm = 4 m 52 cm = 4.52 m
61 mm = 6 cm 1 mm = 6.1 cm
When comparing two measurements, you must use the SAME UNITS. For example, if you were trying to determine which was larger.....
673 cm or 7 m
....you would have to change the 7 m to 700 cm or change the 673 cm to 6.73 m. When the units are the same you can compare numbers. If they are not, then you cannot just look at the number.
Please correct / complete your Measurement booklet.

Some great information and safety tips given at our presentation today. Sit down with a parent and go through the safety booklet you were given. Do you remember the materials that were good conductors? Good insulators? Where is the safest place to be in a storm?
