Today we are starting to explore length in Maths. We created mind maps of everything we know already about length.This is what we remeber from our previous learning:
Behtnay L: You measure roads.
Lillie: You can measure crocodiles.
Jason: You can measure the length of a marathon.
Charlie: You can measure how far the ball goes when you throw it.
Jack: You use it to measure walls.
Cameron: There is a length in a swimming pool.They might tell you to swim 2 lengths of the pool.
Cate: You can measure how long a car is.
Heather: You can measure a football pitch.
We all know that length is a measurement. We noticed that the area of a shape is length x breadth.
Length can be measured with decimals. We done a fist of five and we are confident that we will be able to work with decimals. We have been exploring decimals in class so we don’t think they should be a problem.
I like our new topic in maths
You have remembered a lot about length. Can you tell me any units of length?
good swiming primary 5
It is good to see that you are using your decimals across your learning.
You really know a lot about length. We know that there are 100cm in meter.
