This lesson provides an authentic context to develop skills of estimation and measuring length. It provides an opportunity for students to connect decimal representations to the metric system and convert from centimetres to metres, and metres to kilometres. It also provides a context to investigate and become familiar with ...
The content of this book is organised into topics including understanding units, and direct measuring.
Use this diagnostic task to assess a student's understanding of capacity and the calibrated scale on a measuring jug.
Use this diagnostic task to assess what students know about volume and units to measure and compare volumes.
Use this diagnostic task to assess what students know about volume and units to compare volumes.
Use these diagnostic tasks, Volume of prisms (1) and Volume of prisms (2), to assess a student’s understanding of working out the volume of rectangular prisms and a formula for volume.
This team-based game challenges students to use metric units of volume and to make capacity estimates for various containers.
Students establish a mental image of one litre and measure the capacity of everyday containers using litres.
Students compare the spaces within containers.
A guide to teaching about measurement including indirect measuring, and estimating.
Students explore measurement prefixes and convert between units of measurement.
This lesson uses unit cubes and hollow objects to demonstrate the concept of volume and the units used.
Use this diagnostic task to assess if students know about capacity and comparing containers based on how much they hold.
Use this video as a springboard to explore volume of composite shapes, adjusting numbers to make calculations friendlier and draw on reasoning and mathematical modelling.
There is a saying: 'climate is what you expect and weather is what you get'. |Understanding climate change is very difficult for most people, especially when the weather we experience is different from the information we are given by scientists about the climate changing. The difference is that weather reflects short-term ...
Listen as David McKinnon from UNSW describes some of the skills that are useful to have if you want to program robots. David explains an activity that exercises problem solving skills. Why don't you try doing it? Look at a map and find some towns that are close to yours. Use the scale on the map to work out the distances ...
What do you know about the Milky Way? Did you know that there are hundreds of billions of stars in it? Before you embark on your stargazing expedition, watch this video to learn how you can use just your hands and a compass to locate stars in the sky! What is the unit of measurement used when you're measuring distances ...
How many locusts in a plague? Find out just how big the threat of locusts can be and how farmers try to prevent the plagues from getting out of control. This clip provides context for a combination of area, area units and rate problems.
Bees are necessary for assisting many plants to produce the food we eat, including meat and milk. Colony collapse disorder, which describes the disappearance of beehives, could have catastrophic effects on food production. Australian scientists are applying their maths and science knowledge to build up a picture of a healthy ...
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.
