To solve this problem, we need to assemble the "Meterstick" by following the instructions on the worksheet. The goal is to create a full-length meter stick (100 cm or 1000 mm) by joining four separate parts together.
Step 1: Understand the Goal
A standard meter stick is 1 meter long.
The vocabulary section tells us:
* 1 Meter = 10 Decimeters
* 1 Meter = 100 Centimeters
* 1 Meter = 1000 Millimeters
The worksheet has four strips labeled Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. We need to cut them out and tape them together in order to make one long strip.
Step 2: Analyze Each Part
*
Part 1: This strip shows measurements from
0 cm to 25 cm.
* It also shows decimeters: 0 dm, 1 dm, 2 dm.
* It ends at the mark for 25 cm (which is halfway between 2 dm and 3 dm).
*
Part 2: This strip shows measurements from
25 cm to 50 cm.
* It starts where Part 1 ended.
* It shows decimeters: 3 dm, 4 dm, 5 dm.
* It ends at 50 cm (which is exactly 5 dm).
*
Part 3: This strip shows measurements from
50 cm to 75 cm.
* It starts where Part 2 ended.
* It shows decimeters: 6 dm, 7 dm.
* It ends at 75 cm (halfway between 7 dm and 8 dm).
*
Part 4: This strip shows measurements from
75 cm to 100 cm.
* It starts where Part 3 ended.
* It shows decimeters: 8 dm, 9 dm, 10 dm.
* It ends at 100 cm, which is equal to 10 dm or 1 Meter.
Step 3: Verify the Total Length
When you tape Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 together in sequence:
* Start at 0 cm.
* End at 100 cm.
* 100 cm is equal to 1 Meter.
Therefore, the assembled object is a complete meter stick.
Conclusion:
The task is a hands-on activity. By cutting out the four rectangular strips along the dotted lines and taping them end-to-end in numerical order (Part 1 → Part 2 → Part 3 → Part 4), you create a single ruler that measures from 0 to 100 centimeters.
Final Answer:
Cut out Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4. Tape them together in order (Part 1 first, then Part 2, then Part 3, then Part 4) to create a single strip that measures from 0 cm to 100 cm (1 Meter).
