Time and Rate (ex.speed)
Length


The distance between two points
The basic unit is the meter


Centimeter, kilometer
The tools used to measure length may
include rulers, meter sticks, tape
measures

When would each of these tools be appropriate?
How do we measure
with a ruler?


There are 100 centimeters in a meter
Each centimeter has 10 sections

Each of these sections equals 0.1 of a
centimeter
How do we measure
with a ruler?
Let’s try it!
