Remember the facts!
So yesterday, we looked at converting and measuring mm and cm.
We know that 10 mm = 1cm

We know that 1cm = 10 mm
so to convert from cm to mm, we need to from 1 to 10. How do we do that?

Today, we are looking at converting between cm and m.
Have a look at this question.
So what facts can help us here?

1 m = 100cm ( we would need to multiply by 100)
Let's learn some ways to do the conversion.
Now let's do the following example and the guided practice together.
