Measurement(1)

We have been learning about standardised measurement.

Here is a picture of a boat I built using metres.
It is not real metres but there is a measurement space with red lines on it and it is way easier.

This is the drawing...

We need to use standardised measurement because if you are building or calculating distances. If you use standardised measurements like centimetres or meters anyone who does it gets the same length. However if you use your own feet and someone else measures with their feet both of you will get the distance different because both of you have different feet.
