This Growth Chart resource is great for understanding the concept of length, using centimetres as the unit of measurement. As a class you may wish to compare heights and record them at regular intervals. Students are then able to gauge how much they have grown throughout the school year.
Identify which metric units are used to measure everyday items; use measurements of familiar items and known units to make estimates
Measure and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity, and instruments with labelled markings
Measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary
Compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units
Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity
Uses appropriate terminology to describe, and symbols to represent, mathematical ideas
Measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using kilograms and grams
Measures, records, compares and estimates volumes and capacities using litres, millilitres and cubic centimetres
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths, distances and perimeters in metres, centimetres and millimetres, and measures, compares and records temperatures
Checks the accuracy of a statement and explains the reasoning used
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
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, metres and centimetres
Measures, records, compares and estimates areas using uniform informal units

Measures, records, compares and estimates internal volumes (capacities) and volumes using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using uniform informal units
Represents and compares halves, quarters, thirds and fifths as lengths on a number line and their related fractions formed by halving (eighths, sixths and tenths)
Uses grid maps and directional language to locate positions and follow routes
Measures and estimates lengths in metres, centimetres and millimetres

Performs transformations by combining and splitting two-dimensional shapes
Estimates, measures and compares areas using square centimetres and square metres
Makes and sketches models and nets of three-dimensional objects including prisms and pyramids
Estimates, measures and compares capacities (internal volumes) using litres, millilitres and volumes using cubic centimetres
Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, area, mass and capacity
Compare masses of objects using balance scales
Compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units
Compare the difference between your height at the beginning and end of the year.
