Lesson 4: Converting between mm, cm, m and km
Students will convert between millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres. They will find the size of interesting animals with different units of measurement.
Lesson 3: Estimating and measuring length and distance
Students will estimate and measure inches, feet, centimeters and meters with accuracy. They will practice their skills by completing a series of challenges.
Lesson 2: Exploring and converting US standard units of measurement
Students will explore and identify common uses for each unit of measurement. They will convert US standard units of measurement whilst playing the Conversion Challenge game.
Lesson 1: Identifying different types of measurement
Students will explore different units of measurement and identify types of measurements in real-life situations.
Lesson 15: Measurement Assessment
This is a summative assessment that covers the key objectives from this measurement unit.
Lesson 14: Metric Olympics!
Students will recap and apply the different units of measurement that they have explored during this unit. They will complete a Metric Olympics in this lesson.
Lesson 5: Using jump and split strategy to subtract mentally
Students will apply jump and split strategy skills to subtract mentally. They will use their skills to solve power grid investigation questions.
Lesson 13: Problem-solving mass investigation
Students will use their problem-solving skills to add, subtract and convert between kilograms and grams. They will use these skills to organise items into different moving boxes.
Lesson 4: Using rounding and mental strategies to problem-solve
Students will use rounding and mental strategies to problem-solve and find the items that each animal purchased.
Lesson 3: Introduction to compensation strategy
Compensation strategy involves rounding one number to make the number sentence easier to add. The amount rounded is then either added or subtracted afterwards to compensate. Students will gain further skills and understanding on number flexibility and how to manipulate numbers to solve problems effectively. They will play a game called Hit or Miss.
