The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Millimetre
A name for the smallest mark.
↳ Small things, small unit.
From cm to mm
Two quick steps.
↳ Multiply, then add.
The two big steps
Two jumps to remember.
A hundred centimetres make one metre. A thousand metres make one kilometre.
↳ 100 cm = 1 m, 1,000 m = 1 km
204 cm is 2 metre 4 cm
One sari, two labels.
Two hundred centimetres make 2 metres. Four are left over. So both labels name the same cloth.
↳ Same length, new name.
Which one is longer?
Three steps to compare.
↳ 5 m is 500 cm, so it beats 456 cm.

Small Marks, Big Help: Millimetres and Centimetres
Meera measures a tiny sprout. We choose a sensible unit, count the ten small marks inside a centimetre, and change lengths between cm and mm.
- A centimetre splits into ten equal small parts. Each of those parts is one millimetre.
- Write it short: 1 cm = 10 mm.
- Multiply by 10 to change centimetres into millimetres.

Metres and Kilometres: Going Far
Shikha sorts saris by length, statues are set side by side, and a long train route is measured. We move between cm, m and km and compare distances.
- One hundred centimetres make one metre.
- One thousand metres make one kilometre, and kilo means thousand.
- Multiply to move to a smaller unit. Look for hundreds or thousands to move back.

Working with Lengths: Add, Take, Times and Share
Saji adds his day's walking, electricians measure cable left, and a tailor cuts cloth for twenty shirts. We work with mixed units of length.
- Add kilometres to kilometres and metres to metres, never one to the other.
- If the metres pass 1,000, carry a whole kilometre across.
- Changing both lengths to one unit works just as well.
