Measure It and Make It
In 'Measure It and Make It', students use MAB blocks to compare the areas of shapes.
Learning goals
- We are learning to compare and order shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity.
- We are learning to compare objects using familiar units of area and volume, e.g. centicubes.
- 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 use scaled instruments to measure length, mass, capacity, duration and temperature.
