For example
A cricket ball is about seven centimetres across.
In Grade 3
Children measure small objects in centimetres with a ruler, starting at zero every single time.
Watch out for
Children often start measuring at the number one on the ruler. Measuring starts at zero, not at the first printed number.
Say it at home
Measure small household objects in centimetres and write the lengths down together.
