• TLF-IDA002431

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 ...

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement. Students are provided opportunities to: measure and compare lengths of objects and locations using kilometres, metres, centimetres and millimetres; identify and measure the perimeter of shapes, objects and locations; ...

• TLF-IDM025322

This sequence of two lessons explores how statistical techniques that rely on randomly generated data can be used to solve problems. In the first lesson, students compare different methods for calculating the area of an irregular shape, using the context of oil spill maps. They are introduced to the Monte Carlo method for ...
