Lesson 2: Introduction to 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 1: Exploring compass directions
Students will explore compass directions and writing instructions through a fun activity that involves designing a space treasure map.
Lesson 12: Measurement Assessment
This is a summative assessment that covers the key objectives from this measurement unit.
Lesson 11: Metric Olympics!
Students will recap and apply the different units of measurement that they have explored during this unit. They will do this by ‘competing’ in the Metric Olympics, which is a fun series of measurement challenges.
Lesson 10: Adding and subtracting millilitres
Students will continue to explore capacity/volume by adding and subtracting millilitres whilst playing a game called ‘Fill Your Bucket’.
Lesson 9: Exploring liquid volume
Students will make estimations, read measuring cylinders and explore capacity/volume.
Lesson 8: Introduction to mass
Students will estimate, measure and record mass in this fun, hands-on lesson.
Lesson 7: Creating shapes with specific perimeters
Students will apply their knowledge of perimeters to create shapes to meet certain perimeters. They will do this through an activity that involves designing moats for castles.
Lesson 6: Introduction to calculating perimeter
Students will explore how to find the perimeter of shapes. They will use their knowledge to calculate the perimeter of different race tracks.
Lesson 4: Connecting cm and m
Students will explore the connection between centimetres and metres using tape diagrams. They will apply their knowledge to create an animal lineup.
