Busy, busy, that was us!
Today we practiced our adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing skills with the opening word problem set.
After that we learned about converting metric measurement:
We discussed and demonstrated that the equal sign means that both sides are the same - the 'sequence' of numbers will always be the same when converting measurement as you are multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, and so on.
For example: 1234m = 1.234km
The numbers '1, 2, 3, and 4' do not change position, just the place value column when being converted into a different metric unit of measurement.
Next we looked at perimeter of a regular polygon (where all the sides of the shape are the same length). We came up with the formula that:
Perimeter = sum of all sides of a shape
See you all tomorrow,

- 10mm = 1cm
- 100cm = 1m
- 1000m = 1km
