Flynn and Dodly are going on a camping adventure. Watch how they measure the capacity of different containers. Which container will hold the most? 'Dodly the Adventurer' needs a container to put all his precious rocks in. Can you find a container big enough?
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.
This sequence of four lessons explores the relationship between an informal unit of measure and what is being measured using the context of designing a game of 'Target Ball'. Students work in groups to collect data on how far their chose ball rolls, using a cut-out foot as an informal unit of measure. They represent and ...
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 ...
This sequence of two lessons engages students in comparing lengths of pieces of wool: 'woolly worms'. Students use direct comparison to order their collection of worms from shortest to longest. They learn to order their collection of worms using a variety of strategies, to record lengths using informal units, to draw worms ...
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 ...
Selected links to a range of interactive and print resources for Measurement topics in K-6 Mathematics.
Peg and Cat show how to measure when looking for buried treasure! See how they measure using informal units and solve problems along the way.
This sample multi-age unit explores the big idea 'what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement'.
In this animated video, the puppies Prime and Poly compare the length of their jumps with Buster and Chance. Abacus the cat helps to work out which dog jumps the furthest. The mathematical focus is on comparing objects indirectly, by using a third object to determine which is longer; comparing lengths using informal units ...
In this animated video, Buster, Al and Ada use informal and formal units of measurement when helping to build a dog house for Prime. The mathematical focus is on comparing lengths using informal units of measurement; recognising the importance of using common units of measurement; and recognising and using centimetres. ...
In this activity, students make balance scales from coat hangers and use them to compare the weights of familiar objects. The activity includes a list of what is required, suggestions of what to do and notice, questions to ask, an explanation for the underlying science of what students observe and suggestions for other ...
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 ...
This two-week unit develops student knowledge, skills and understanding of measurement. Students are provided opportunities to compare, order and match measurement attributes by using direct comparison and informal units; consider how the choice of measuring unit affects accuracy; explore conservation of length, area, internal ...
This resource provides strategies for assessing aspects of the Digital Technologies subject in the Australian Curriculum that relate to data using contexts from other learning areas and General Capabilities, including Mathematics, Numeracy and Literacy. The resource includes an assessment planner and rubric, as well as ...
This PDF is a worksheet that accompanies the years F-2 sample assessment task called Stepping out.
This two-week sample unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills of measurement.
Compare algorithms designed to complete the same task, and evaluate each for efficiency.
The content of this book is organised into topics including understanding units, and direct measuring.
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.
