Sophie+Measurement

media type="custom" key="4381609" Here are some things I have learned in measurement this year.
 * Length: here is how you convert...km to m, multiply 1000,m to cm, multiply 100,cm to mm, multiply 10.mm to cm, divide 10.cm to m, divide 100.m to km, divide 1000. eg. if sophie walked 3km, how many metres would she have walked? = 3000m. if a pencil was 150mm long, how many cm long is it? = 15cm
 * Adding: here is how I've learned to add metric measurements. km + m + cm + mm. first you turn them all into the same one eg. km then add them together. Example: 23km+76m+318cm+726mm is the same as 2300+ 76+ 0.318+ 0.0726 =23076.
 * Perimeter: the perimeter of something is the measurement of the outside line of a shape. To find it add up all the length of the sides.
 * Area: the area is the inside of a shape, to find it add together the length of each side then multiply them.
 * Volume: to find it, you need to measure the face of the 3D shape and then multiply the length and height of the face by the length of the body.
