What are Units of Length?
- Units of length help us measure how long or short something is.
- We use different names like inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.
- They tell us the size of things around us.
Examples:
- Measuring a pencil:
- A pencil can be about 7 inches long.
- This means if you had 7 little marks, that would be the length of the pencil!
- Measuring a table:
- A table can be about 2 feet long.
- If you lined up 2 rulers side by side, that would be about how long the table is.
- Measuring a garden:
- A garden can be 5 meters long.
- This means you would need 5 big steps to walk from one end of the garden to the other!
