Learning goals

  • We are learning to identify which metric units are used to measure items and to make estimates using known units.
  • We are learning to measure and compare objects and events using length, mass and capacity and use instruments with labelled markings, e.g. measuring tape, ruler.
  • We are learning to measure, order and compare objects using standard metric units of length, mass and capacity.
  • We are learning to convert between common units of measurement for length, mass and capacity and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem, e.g. 1.25m = 125cm.
  • We are learning to convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity, i.e. millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, milligrams, grams, kilograms, tonnes, millilitres, litres, kilolitres and megalitres.
  • We are learning to choose appropriate units of measurement for length, mass and capacity of objects, e.g. kilometres to measure the distance between two towns.
  • We are learning to use scaled instruments to measure length, mass, capacity, duration and temperature.
