Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Centimetres (cm)! A centimetre is a very useful unit — there are 10 millimetres in 1 centimetre and 100 centimetres in 1 metre. We use cm to measure things like pencils, books, and your height. Ready to measure with centimetres? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 What is a Centimetre?
1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)
100 centimetres (cm) = 1 metre (m)
A paperclip is about 3–4 cm long
📏 When Do We Use Centimetres?
✅ Measuring your height or desk
✅ Length of a pencil or book
✅ Size of a picture frame
✅ Width of a window or door
🎯 Let’s Practice with Centimetres!
