This sequence of four lessons explores the relationship between an informal unit of measure and what is being measured using the context of designing a game of 'Target Ball'. Students work in groups to collect data on how far their chose ball rolls, using a cut-out foot as an informal unit of measure. They represent and ...
This sequence of two lessons builds students' understanding of equivalence as balance. The equals sign is used to indicate the same value on both sides of an equation. Students develop their understanding of equivalence by looking at balancing scales with blocks of different weights. Each lesson is outlined in detail including ...
This sequence of two lessons engages students in comparing lengths of pieces of wool: 'woolly worms'. Students use direct comparison to order their collection of worms from shortest to longest. They learn to order their collection of worms using a variety of strategies, to record lengths using informal units, to draw worms ...
How do we measure how big something is? Flynn and Dodley want to see who has the bigger toy bus. Which bus is taller, wider, longer? Flynn models how to measure his bus using sticks so he can make a garage for his 'magic' bus. The Flying girl and others also do some measuring.
Selected links to a range of interactive and print resources for Measurement topics in K-6 Mathematics.
Peg and Cat show how to measure when looking for buried treasure! See how they measure using informal units and solve problems along the way.
Flynn and Dodly are going on a camping adventure. Watch how they measure the capacity of different containers. Which container will hold the most? 'Dodly the Adventurer' needs a container to put all his precious rocks in. Can you find a container big enough?
Take two differently shaped containers, for example, a tall, skinny cylinder and a short wide one. Which one will hold more beads? The result may surprise you! It's all about capacity. Two containers with the same surface area can have very different shapes and sizes, so they can have different volumes and hold different ...
This planning resource for Year 2 is for the topic of Informal units. Students extend their understanding of uniform informal units to measure and compare the lengths, mass and capacities.
Use this diagnostic task in the style of a one-on-one interview to assess a student's understanding and skills in comparing length.
The content of this book is organised into topics including understanding units, and direct measuring.
Use this diagnostic task to assess if students know about capacity and comparing containers based on how much they hold.
Use this diagnostic task to assess a student's understanding of capacity and the calibrated scale on a measuring jug.
Students compare the spaces within containers.
Use this diagnostic task in the style of a one-on-one interview to assess a student's knowledge and understanding of an object's properties, and their use of comparative language.
Use this diagnostic task to assess if students use an array structure when working out how many tiles fit in a rectangle.
Refer to the diagnostic task for a guide on how to conduct a one-on-one interview where the student is asked to measure length by choosing an informal unit.
Compare algorithms designed to complete the same task, and evaluate each for efficiency.
Students compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units.
This resource provides strategies for assessing aspects of the Digital Technologies subject in the Australian Curriculum that relate to data using contexts from other learning areas and General Capabilities, including Mathematics, Numeracy and Literacy. The resource includes an assessment planner and rubric, as well as ...
