Year 3 Learning Journey - Maths
This week, the children have started their new topic of length and perimeter and began by using a ruler to measure in centimetres. The children followed the steps to success, which included ensuring that their ruler is lined up with the end of their object at zero. The children then looked at the other end of the object and looked at which point of the ruler this corresponded with. They wrote their answers in their books and remembered to add the unit of measurement, cm, at the end of the number.
They then focused on millimetres and used their existing knowledge to help them answer some questions in their book. The children were able to spot the pattern (see below) and this helped them to convert millimetres into centimetres and centimetres into millimetres.
1 cm = 10 mm
2 cm = 20 mm
3 cm = 30 mm etc.
We are very proud of the progress the children have made this week. - Year 3 Teachers.
