What to Focus On

  • Millimetre is used for very small lengths.
  • Centimetre is used for small objects.
  • Metre is used for medium-sized lengths.
  • 1 cm = 10 mm.
  • Millimetres give more precision than centimetres.
  • Small marks on a scale show millimetres.
  • Use < for smaller length.
  • Use = for equal length.
  • Use > for larger length.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any length can be measured using the same unit.

A kilometre is smaller than a metre because the word feels shorter.

Millimetres are the same as centimetres because both are small units.

Memory Tips

Kilometre for long distances

Millimetre as a small part of a centimetre

Foot, inches, and centimetre relationship

Choosing metre or centimetre
