METRIC LENGTHMiss Oberlander
Metric Length is based on a meter.
Meter Stick (a little longer than a yard)
Millimeter 1,000mm = 1 m
mm to measure about a spot on a ladybug
Centimeter 100cm = 1 m
cm is about the length of a thumbtack
Meter (slightly longer than yd)
m can measure the height of a small easel
Kilometer 1,000 meters
Other countries measure distance with kilometers instead of miles!
Check out the speed limit signs from around the world! It looks like you can drive faster…but remember a km is a little bit more than ONLY ½ mi.
Kilometers measure metric distance.
Game!
