I learnt how to measure in perimetre.
First we learnt what to measure the objects in. The length for the mat is 1 metre, 46 centre . The width for the mat is 86 centimetres. Then we had to add it up. For example: 1 metre + 1 metre = 2 metres, 46 centimetre + 46 centimetre = 92 centimetres, 2 metres + 92 centimetres = 2.92, 86 centimetres + 86 centimetres = 1.72 metres, so 1.72 + 2.92 = 4 metres, and 64 centimetres.
Next we learnt what perimetre is. Perimetre is measuring the outline of the area, not the inside of the area. For example: our class mat is measured in cm (centimetre). We measured our school field. The measurement for the school field is 201 metres. Our guess was 295.33 – 450 metres. We were 11 metres off.
I enjoyed this task because I learnt a new strategy. I need to improve on making the shape for our school field. I did well on guessing the perimetre for our school field.
