Adding and Subtracting Meters and Centimeters 3B: 6.1c
2
Adding m & cm with no renaming 2 m 60 cm + 25 cm = _____ m _____ cm How do you get the answer? Since there are no meters in front of 25 cm, just add the centimeters. 852
3
Adding m & cm with renaming 2 m 60 cm + 75 cm = _____ m _____ cm You can still add the centimeters since there are no meters in front of the 75 cm. 60 cm + 75 cm = 135 cm Can you leave the 135 cm as it is? Convert it into m and cm. 1 m 35 cm 2 m 60 cm2 m 135 cm = 3 m 35 cm + 75 cm 335
4
Another way You could also make 100 with either 60 cm or 75 cm. 35 cm 25 cm 2 m 60 cm 75 cm 1 m + 2 m 35 cm + = 3 m 35 cm
5
Another way Now let’s make 100 with the 60. How much do we need from the 75? How much is left? 35 cm 40 cm 2 m 60 cm 75 cm 1 m + 2 m + = 3 m 35 cm 35 cm
6
One more strategy… You can add the numbers up vertically. First, convert into cm. Add. Convert back to m and cm. 2m 60 cm + 75 cm 260 cm + 75 cm 335 cm 3m 35 cm
7
Adding both meters and centimeters 2 m 65 cm + 3 m 20 cm = _____ m _____cm Use mental calculation to add the meters. Then add the centimeters. 2 m 65 cm + 3 m 20 cm 5 m 65 cm + 20 cm 5 m 85 cm
8
Adding both meters and centimeters Try this one… 2 m 65 cm + 3 m 40 cm = _____ m _____cm Add the meters. Then add the centimeters and rename. 2 m 65 cm + 3 m 40 cm 5 m 65 cm + 40 cm 5 m 105 cm 6 m 5 cm
9
Use vertical adding, if you prefer First, convert into cm. Add. Convert back to m and cm. 2 m 65 cm +3 m 40 cm 265 cm + 340 cm 605 cm 6 m 5 cm
10
Subtracting both meters and centimeters 5 m 30 cm – 25 cm = _____m _____ cm To find the answer, subtract 25 cm from 30 cm. There are no meters to take away so the 5 m stays the same. 5
11
Subtracting both meters and centimeters 5 m 30 cm – 75 cm = _____m _____ cm Take 100 cm from the 5 meters. What’s left? Subtract the 75 from the 100. Add the remaining cm together. 4 55 5 m 30 cm 4 m 30 cm100 cm 75 cm =– 75 cm– = 4 m 30 cm + 25 cm = 4 m 55 cm
12
Other strategies Is there another way to solve the problem 5 m 30 cm – 75 cm? You can rename 5 m 30 cm. Then subtract. 5 m 30 cm – 75 cm = 4 m 130 cm – 75 cm = 4 m 55 cm
13
Use vertical subtracting, if you prefer First, convert into cm. Subtract. Convert back to m and cm. 5 m 30 cm – 75 cm 530 cm – 75 cm 455 cm 4 m 55 cm
14
Subtracting when you don’t have to rename 5 m 30 cm – 2 m 25 cm = ____ m _____ cm How should we solve this? Subtract meters first. Then subtract centimeters. 5 m 30 cm3 m 30 cm3 m 5 cm – 2 m– 25 cm
15
How do we find the difference between 5 m 30 cm and 2 m 75 cm? Let’s look at three subtraction strategies… 5 m 30 cm – 2 m 75 cm = 3 m 30 cm – 75 cm = 2 m 130 cm – 75 cm = 5 m 30 cm 2 m 30 cm100 cm 2 m 75 cm =– 75 cm– = 2 m 30 cm + 25 cm = 2 m 55 cm 2 m 55 cm 3 m 30 cm75 cm =– 5 m 30 cm – 2 m 75 cm 530 cm – 275 cm 255 cm 2 m 55 cm RENAME CONVERT MAKE 100
