During maths we were challenged to work out how tall the following mountains are using the scale 1mm = 1m. Mount Everest Nepal 8850m
Mount McKinley USA 6194m
Kilamanjaro Africa 5895m
Mount Kosciusko Australia 2228m
K2 India 8611m
Ben Nevis Scotland 1344m
Snowdon Lake District 1085m
Carrantuohill Ireland 1050m
Beacon Hill Norfolk 103m
Scafell Pike Lake District 978m
We then measured the mountains out on the playground. When we realised a human could be 1.5mm tall on this scale, we were stunned by how big these mountains really are.
