This resource was designed to support student skills in using informal measurement to compare the length.
Measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end
Measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary
Identify and compare attributes of objects and events, including length, capacity, mass and duration, using direct comparisons and communicating reasoning
Compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning
Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
Use direct and indirect comparisons to decide which is longer, heavier or holds more, and explain reasoning in everyday language
Compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units
Describes mathematical situations using everyday language, actions, materials and informal recordings
Uses concrete materials and/or pictorial representations to support conclusions
Describes and compares lengths and distances using everyday language
Describes and compares the capacities of containers and the volumes of objects or substances using everyday language
Describes and compares the masses of objects using everyday language
Measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using uniform informal units
Uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems
Measures, records, compares and estimates areas using uniform informal units
Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols
Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
