This teaching slides resource introduces students to equivalent measurements using decimal notation, building understanding of how centimetres relate to metres by applying hundredths in a real-world context.
Slides establish that each centimetre is one hundredth of a metre, then move through worked examples asking students how much of a metre a given centimetre measurement represents. Practice slides include both abstract measurements and real-world objects.
What's included:
Introduction slides establishing the relationship between metres and centimetres (1 cm = 0.01 m), using a number line marked from 0 to 100 cm
Worked example slides showing centimetre-to-decimal conversions (e.g. 10 cm = 0.10 m, 40 cm, 85 cm)
13 example and practice slides converting centimetre measurements to decimal notation, including real-world object contexts
