Lesson 2: Let’s explore position and turns
Students will use turns and compass directions to identify a code. They will explore quarter, half, three-quarter and full turns using north, east, south and west to direct the turns. They will use turns and compass directions to identify codes.
Lesson 9: Let’s create 3D shapes
Students will create 3D shapes using their own construction supplies.
Lesson 1: Let’s explore compass directions
Students will explore compass directions and writing instructions through a fun activity that involves designing a space treasure map.
Lesson 7: Let’s show what we know!
This is a summative assessment that covers the key objectives from this measurement unit.
Lesson 6: Let’s estimate, measure and compare distance
Students will brainstorm at least three objects they would like to measure. After creating their list, they will estimate the length of each item, carefully measure it, and compare their estimates with the actual measurements.
Lesson 5: Let’s add and subtract measurements
Students will complete a series of word problems that involve adding and subtracting distance measurements. Students will solve an animal lineup challenge whilst solving their word problems.
Lesson 4: Let’s compare cm & m
Students will explore centimeters and meters and use tape diagrams to convert between the measurements. They will apply their knowledge when completing a range of measurement challenges.
Lesson 3: Let’s measure length with accuracy
Students will practice measuring length with accuracy and drawing lines to a specific length, by completing a range of measuring challenges to create a picture.
Lesson 2: Let’s explore standard units of measurement
Students will explore different units of measurement (inches, feet, centimeters and meters) and identify when to use each type of measurement in real-life situations.
Lesson 1: Let’s explore non-standard units
Students will explore and measure with non-standard units for measuring length and inquire into why standard units are used around the world. They will use non-standard units of measurement.
