Mathematics / Year 2 / Measurement and Geometry / Using units of measurement

• TLF-IDM025298

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 ...

• TLF-IDA005812

This module focuses on the impact of technology, particularly robots, on our everyday lives. Based on the folktale The Little Red Hen, students are encouraged to create their own automated solution to help the Little Red Hen carry her wheat. The module includes a comprehensive teacher guide, curriculum links, materials ...

• TLF-IDA005505

This sample multi–age unit continues to explore the big idea 'equal means equivalent'.

• TLF-IDA005494

This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills of measurement using informal and formal units. Students are provided opportunities to estimate, measure, compare and record a variety of attributes including length, area, volume and mass using informal units; estimate, measure and record length using ...

• TLF-IDA004827

This teaching guide provides a range of associated activities for each of the Mathscots episodes at Year 2. The guide contains a summary of the mathematical focus in each episode, a range of scaffolded learning experiences for before, during and after viewing each video, activities for families at home, and sets of printable ...

• TLF-IDA004822

In this animated video, a cat seesaw provides opportunities for Abacus and her fellow Mathscots to learn about mass. The mathematical focus is on measuring and comparing mass and mass equivalence; using balance scales to determine whether the mass of different objects is more, less or about the same. The video includes ...

• TLF-IDA004319

The focus of this activity is to find out what students know and understand about length. By Year 2 students need to begin to move beyond a familiar definition of length and must begin to see the importance of using uniform units.

• TLF-IDA003515

Students compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units.

• TLF-IDA003571

Use this diagnostic task to assess if students know about capacity and comparing containers based on how much they hold.

• TLF-IDA003134

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.
