Measures Digit Cards - metres

The Measures Digit Cards provide a diverse set of measurements in metres, which can be used for a variety of educational activities involving distance and length. The cards encompass a wide range of values from as low as 52m, which could represent a short sprint on a track, to substantial distances such as 8000m, which is akin to the height of some of the world's tallest mountains. The collection includes measurements like 101m, a little over the length of a football pitch, to 5000m, which is roughly the distance of a standard 5k run.

These cards are not only varied in terms of magnitude but also offer opportunities for students to practice rounding, comparing, and ordering. For instance, the cards present measurements in the hundreds such as 297m, which is close to the length of three standard running tracks laid end to end, and in the thousands, with distances like 7000m, comparable to the ascent of many high-altitude peaks. The set also includes particularly large measurements such as 7971m, which is just shy of the elevation of the second-highest mountain on Earth, Mount K2. With such a range, these cards can be instrumental in helping students grasp the concept of scale and measurement in a tangible way.
