Measures 

Last week we revised multiplying and dividing decimals. It’s now time to apply our knowledge with our length conversions. Here are some facts to remember:

1 kilometre = 1000m

To change metres into kilometres we divide by 1000. To change kilometres into metres we multiply by 1000

e.g. 4.5km = 4500m 

1 metre = 100cm

To change centimetres into metres we divide by 100. To change metres into centimetres we multiply by 100.

e.g. 3.3m = 330cm

1 centimetre = 10 millimetres

To change millimetres into centimetres we divide by 10. To change centimetres into millimetres we multiply by 10.

e.g. 9.5cm = 95mm

This video will help remind you how to multiply and divide decimals

This video will help you revise how to convert centimetres into millimetres.

(multiplying and dividing by 10 - 1cm = 10mm)

These videos will help you convert centimetres into metres.

(multiplying and dividing by 100 - 1m = 100cm)

These videos will help you convert metres into kilometres.

(multiplying and dividing by 1000 - 1km = 1000m)

We hope you enjoyed the above links. 

Your measures booklets are below. Parents - there are two booklets - the second booklet contains more difficult conversions. Please choose the booklet best suited for your child. If you need any guidance on this, please let us know.
