Can you estimate the distance between the two walls of your classroom?
Can you estimate the distance between the front door of your class room and the door of your principal's room?
Can you estimate the distance between your home and the school?
Let's work out for the distance between your home and the school
You have made a measuring tape. For shorter distance, you may use it but as the distance becomes larger, measuring the entire length using only 2-meter long tape becomes tedious.
There is another way to work out the approximate length to the school from home or vice versa.
You can use your step to measure these long distances. You just have to count the numbers of steps that you take to reach the school from your home.
But before that you need to find out how long is your step.
