    How to Measure
    To record the length of this
    paperclip, line up the start of the
    paperclip with the 0 cm line. Then
    record where the item ends. The
    length of this paperclip is exactly 3
    cm.
    The numbers on this ruler represent whole centimeters
    (cm). But, there are also 10 small lines in between
    each centimeter. These are millimeters! We measure
    these exactly the same way as centimeters, on a ruler.
    Let’s have a look...
    Measuring mm
    To record the length of this eraser,
    we line up the start of the eraser
    with the 0 cm line. This eraser ends
    exactly halfway between 5 and 6 cm
    so it’s 5.5 cm or 5 cm and 5 mm.
    Measuring Width
    To record the width of this pencil,
    we line up one side with the 0 cm
    line and then count the little lines
    (mm) until we reach the other side.
    This pencil measures 4 mm wide.
