Learning goals
- We are learning to measure and compare objects and events using length, mass and capacity, recognising that units need to be uniform, appropriate and used end-to-end.
- We are learning to compare and order shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity.
- We are learning to compare masses of objects using balance scales.
