Max Maths, Year 3, Learn together, Review of measuring length in centimetres and in metres (3)

In the Max Maths programme for Year 3, students consolidate their understanding of measuring lengths by using metre rulers to measure various objects. This practical exercise helps them apply their knowledge of measurement in real-world contexts. They begin by measuring the length of a sofa, which is found to be 2 metres long. This hands-on activity allows children to visualise and comprehend the concept of length and how it is quantified using standard units of measure.

The lesson continues with measuring the height of a chair, which stands at 1 metre tall. Students then move on to measure the height of a tree, which reaches 3 metres in height. By measuring objects of different sizes, students gain experience in handling metre rulers and become familiar with the metric units of centimetres and metres. These activities not only reinforce their ability to measure accurately but also help them understand the practical application of these measurements in everyday situations.
