Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Kilometres (km)! One kilometre is 1000 metres — that's a really long distance! We use kilometres when talking about how far places are, how far we run, or how far we travel in a car. Ready to go the distance? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 What is a Kilometre?
1 kilometre (km) = 1,000 metres (m)
1 kilometre (km) = 100,000 centimetres (cm)
A big park or your school playground might be 1 km around
🛣️ When Do We Use Kilometres?
✅ Distance to school or the mall
✅ How far you run in a race (5 km run)
✅ Driving from one city to another
✅ Length of rivers or roads
🎯 Let’s Practice with Kilometres!
