This unit plan has been created to support your students when learning about choosing appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass. The unit completes with class displays, student reference cards, worksheets, presentation, consolidation quiz and an assessment task.
Choose appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass
Selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths and distances, calculates perimeters, and converts between units of length
Describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions
Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another
Selects and uses the appropriate unit to calculate areas, including areas of squares, rectangles and triangles
Selects and uses the appropriate unit to estimate, measure and calculate volumes and capacities, and converts between units of capacity
Selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure the masses of objects, and converts between units of mass
Selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths and distances including perimeters
Selects and uses the appropriate unit to estimate, measure and calculate volumes and capacities
Selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure the masses of objects
Choose appropriate metric units when measuring the length, mass and capacity of objects; use smaller units or a combination of units to obtain a more accurate measure
