Maths Unit: Measuring Mass
This unit plan has been created to support your students when learning to interpret unmarked and partial units when measuring and comparing attributes of mass, using scaled and digital instruments and appropriate units. The unit completes with class displays, student reference cards, worksheets, presentation, consolidation quiz and an assessment task.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use scaled instruments to measure length, mass, capacity and temperatures.
- We are learning to compare objects using familiar units of area and volume, e.g. centicubes.
- We are learning to use scaled instruments to measure length, mass, capacity, duration and temperature.
