Verbs

A verb is a doing word –  something that you can do e.g. run, jump, smile.

A special type of verbs is called a “modal Verb”. This is a word that change the meaning of the rest of the sentence.

For example might, should, must, can.

Today we are going to focus on measuring length.

 

We use different units to measure things – imperial and metric.

Imperial measurements for length are inches, feet and miles. They are more confusing and awkward because the numbers aren’t in 10s. For example, there are 12 inches in a foot.

Metric measurements are easier, because they are in 10s, 100s and 1,000s.

 

1cm = 10mm

1m = 100cm

1 km = 1,000m

 

Can you find a measuring tape or ruler in your house? Look at it. It probably has both imperial and metric measurements on it. Check carefully.

Today’s task is to hunt for things of different lengths. Can you find somethings that is:

• 1cm long
• 1 inch long
• 1mm long or wide
• 1m long
• 25 mm long
• 1 foot long (12 inches)
• 6 inches long
