Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 5 chapter "Far and Near". 10 mm = 1 cm, 100 cm = 1 m and 1,000 m = 1 km. To add or subtract lengths, change everything to the smaller unit or work with each unit and regroup. Football facts used: a goal is 7 m 32 cm wide, a full-size pitch can be 105 m long, a size 5 ball is about 22 cm across and Anfield is about 50 km from Old Trafford by road.
