Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're zooming in on Millimetres (mm)! A millimetre is a very small unit — there are 10 millimetres in 1 centimetre. We use mm when things are tiny and we need to be precise. Ready to become a millimetre detective? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 What is a Millimetre?
1 millimetre (mm) is super small!
1000 mm = 1 metre
Think about the thickness of a credit card or the lines on a ruler — those are about 1 mm apart!
📏 When Do We Use Millimetres?
✅ Measuring the thickness of a book page
✅ Size of small screws or nails
✅ Width of a pencil tip
✅ Precise drawings and models
✅ Jewellery and tiny parts
🎯 Let’s Practice with Millimetres!
1. How many millimetres are in 6 cm?
2. A coin is about 2 mm thick. How thick would 5 coins be?
3. Your ruler shows a line at 45 mm. What is that in centimetres?
