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.
