Measurement Year 7 & 8
Length • A length is a distance. • In Australia we use the metric system for measurement and the base unit is the metre. • The length of an object is commonly measured in: • millimetres (mm) • centimetres (cm) • metres (m) • kilometres (km).
1km = 1000m (km m = x1000) • 1m = 100cm (m cm = x100) • 1cm = 10mm (cm mm = x10) From this information you can create a Length conversion chart: km 1000 1000 m 100 100 cm 10 10 mm
Length Conversions • Write the question. • Use the conversion chart to identify conversion factor. • Multiply or divide original measurement. • Put correct units. Eg/ Complete the following metric conversions. • 756m=__________ km • 0.034km (m) • 374cm=_________m • 54cm (mm) • 380mm (cm) • 374cm (km)

Length Conversion: Exit questions Complete the following metric conversions. • 38m=__________ km • 24cm=_________mm • 49cm (m) • 380m (mm)
Geometric symbols • Similarly marked segments are congruent (the same length) • A box in the corner of an angle denotes a right angle
Perimeter • Perimeter is the measurement of the distance (length) around the outside of a 2D shape. • To calculate the perimeter of an object we add the length of all of the sides together once they are in common units. 8cm 5cm
Calculating Perimeter • Convert all dimensions (measurements) to the same units (mm, cm, m, km). • Calculate and record any missing lengths. • Add all lengths together. • Put correct units. Examples: 5m 98cm 4cm 1. 3. 4m 8cm 4m 9cm 10m 5cm 2. 4. 9mm 8mm

Area is the amount of space inside a 2D shape. • The area is measured in squared units (mm2, cm2, m2 or km2). • Units are squared units as you are calculating how many 1x1 squares would fit inside the shape! Area • 1km2=1 000 000m2 (km2 m2= x10002) • 1m2=10 000cm2 (m2 cm2= x1002) • 1cm2=100mm2 (cm2 mm2= x102) if 1cm = 10mm then 1cm x 1cm = 10mmx10mm =102 mm2 =100mm2 10mm 1cm
Calculating Areas of 2D shapes • Convert all dimensions (measurements) to the same units (mm, cm, m, km). • Write formula and dimensions. • Substitute values into formula. • Solve. • Put correct units.

Area Conversions • Remember: Area is the amount of space inside a 2D object. Units are squared units as you are calculating how many 1x1 squares would fit inside the shape! if 1cm = 10mm then 1cm x 1cm = 10mmx10mm =102 mm2 =100mm2 • 1km2=1 000 000m2 (km2 m2= x10002) • 1m2=10 000cm2 (m2 cm2= x1002) • 1cm2=100mm2 (cm2 mm2= x102) 10mm 1cm
Area continued • From this you can create an area conversion chart: km2 10002 10002 m2 1002 1002 cm2 102 102 mm2
Circles • Diameter (D): The distance across a circle from one side to the other, passing through the centre. • Radius (r): The distance from the side of a circle to the centre. r D • Calculations for measurements involving circles involve a special number called π (pi pronounced pie). • The value of πis close to 3.14159… However, you should always use the πbutton on your calculator when calculating with πunless told otherwise.
Circumference of a circle • The circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside (perimeter) of a circle. The formula for the circumference of a circle is: Circumference =πx Diameter =πD or Circumference = 2xπxradius =2πr C=2πr To remember: Twinkle, Twinkle little star Circumference of a circle is 2πr
Area of a circle • The formula for the area of a circle is: Area = πx radius x radius =πr2 Area =πx r x r =πr2
