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 lesson uses unit cubes and hollow objects to demonstrate the concept of volume and the units used.
Students compare the spaces within containers.
Students explore measurement prefixes and convert between units of measurement.
Students establish a mental image of one litre and measure the capacity of everyday containers using litres.
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.
A guide to teaching about measurement including indirect measuring, and estimating.
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.
This team-based game challenges students to use metric units of volume and to make capacity estimates for various containers.
Use this diagnostic task to assess a student's understanding of capacity and the calibrated scale on a measuring jug.
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.
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.
Who is tall that you know? For a person, what height would you say is tall? In this clip we see what it means to measure the length of something compared to measuring the height of something. Find out the height of the tallest person in the world, measured in centimetres. Compare that to your own height. You'll be amazed ...
How would you measure and compare the weight of something? Learn why big things aren't necessarily heavy. All you need is something heavy and a lot of something light and you’ll be able to prove that weight is not the same as size.
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 ...
Sarah is following a recipe. There are some different units of measure used in the recipe. Watch the video to see what these measurement words are. How much of each ingredient is needed? How are the ingredients combined to make the cake?
Did you know that in Australia we use a metric system for measurement? See if you know the units of measurement for length, mass and volume. Find out what system the United States uses. You guessed it - they don't use the metric system! See how a mix up of these units can cause all kinds of mess ups.
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 ...
