Students are introduced to the concept of equivalent lengths in metres and centimetres through a series of worksheets focused on fluency and precision. They are taught that 100 centimetres make up 1 metre and are encouraged to use this knowledge to convert lengths in multiples of 100 centimetres to metres and vice versa. The exercises on the worksheets require students to calculate missing measurements, given that each block represents 10 centimetres. They practice converting measurements such as 6 metres to 600 centimetres and 500 centimetres to 5 metres, and are also asked to match equivalent measurements represented in various ways, enhancing their understanding of length and perimeter.

The worksheets also include reasoning and problem-solving tasks that challenge students to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios. For example, they may need to determine the correct representation of a person's height when measured against a metre stick, or evaluate the accuracy of statements regarding the length of a classroom. These activities are designed to deepen students' comprehension of length conversions and to help them recognise the practical applications of these mathematical concepts in everyday contexts. Additionally, the worksheets provide answers for self-assessment, ensuring students can check their work and understand any mistakes made during the exercises.
