Prepare your students to measure, compare, add and subtract lengths fluently in metres and centimetres by first looking at some equivalent measurements.
Learners will use a double number line to find equivalence of whole numbers of metres and centimetres in section A.
Lengths in cm such as 290 cm are partitioned into cm and m in section B using part whole models. Fractional lengths in metres are considered in section C where students calculate how many cm there are in ¼ , ½ and ¾ of a metre before applying this to find equivalences such as 150 cm = 1 ½ m.
