Length

*When measuring length, remember to line the ruler up correctly and that we begin measuring at 0 not 1. *Measure the width of your finger. Is it about 1cm or 1.5cm? *The width of a doorway is about 1metre. *These informal units of measurement, such as your finger, are what we can use to help us estimate, compare and measure lengths. *Complete the simple measuring activities at

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/mathsgames/measuring-in-cm

*Alternatively, select 5-10 items around your environment to measure using an informal unit of your choice. For example hands and feet.

*First, estimate what the measurement will be

*Then measure using informal units
