Use this diagnostic task in the style of a one-on-one interview to assess a student's understanding and skills in comparing length.
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.
Use the diagnostic tasks, Page sections and Decimals and measures, to assess a student’s understanding of metric units and their relationship to decimals.
This task can be used to reveal whether students can use markings on a ruler to measure in centimetres and whether they understand how the number on the scale relates to the units.
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 ...
A guide to teaching about measurement including indirect measuring, and estimating.
Students compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units.
This lesson uses unit cubes and hollow objects to demonstrate the concept of volume and the units used.
This activity allows students to learn about measuring by measuring attributes of irregular shapes. The use of informal units is an important step in order to develop understandings of what it looks like when measuring the attributes of length, perimeter and area.
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.
This open-ended task challenges students to carry out a mathematical investigation using a ribbon-bow as a stimulus. They are encouraged to develop their own research questions and investigate possible solutions using using mathematical problem solving and modelling strategies.
The focus of this activity is to find out what students know and understand about length and the metric system.
Students explore measurement prefixes and convert between units of measurement.
The content of this book is organised into topics including understanding units, and direct measuring.
