Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check This first length page goes from 0 to 10 cm. An endpoint at 3 means 3 cm, and one at 7 means 7 cm. The small decorative divisions do not need to be counted to answer these whole-centimeter examples. If your child gets 4 for the first example, check whether zero was counted as the first centimeter. ▸ Worked example 3 − 0 = 3 cm ▸ Check answers after trying 0–10 cm ▸ Next worksheet Reading Length.
