Max Maths, Year 3, Work Book, Review of measuring length in centimetres and in metres

In the Max Maths Year 3 Workbook, students are encouraged to refine their skills in measuring length in both centimetres and metres through a series of practice exercises. Practice 1 involves estimating the length or height of various objects, followed by using a ruler to measure the actual dimensions. This exercise not only helps students to develop their estimation skills but also to accurately measure and record lengths in centimetres, reinforcing their understanding of metric units of measurement.

The workbook continues with an activity where students are tasked with estimating the length of different lines before verifying their guesses with precise measurements using a ruler. This comparison between estimation and actual measurement allows students to gain a practical understanding of length and the importance of precision. Additionally, the workbook includes an exercise in estimating heights in metres, providing a real-world context by using familiar objects such as a house, tree, letterbox, and garage door. The final task requires pupils to draw lines of specified lengths, ranging from 1 cm to 17 cm, further enhancing their ability to work with a ruler and understand the concept of length in a tangible way.
