Estimating the distance of our Giant Walk:

Today our school is walking to the local playground.  We are estimating how to measure the distance. 



We learnt that 1000 of these rulers touching each other will make 1 kilometre. 

Our estimates are: 
106 m to 2 km - who will be closest??

  1. Tayla was the closest estimate. It was 2.8 km or 2 thousand and eight hundred metres to walk to the park and back. Tayla guessed it would be 1,000 metres or 1 kilometre.

    The difference between the actual distance and Tayla's estimate was 1, 800 m or 1.8 Km
