Students will explore different units of measurement and identify when to use each type of measurement in real-life situations.

Students will practice measuring length with accuracy using centimetres and millimetres.

Students will explore the connection between centimetres and metres using tape diagrams. They will apply their knowledge to create an animal lineup.

Students will explore how to add and subtract length in order to line up the monsters according to height.

Students will explore how to find the perimeter of shapes. They will use their knowledge to calculate the perimeter of different race tracks.

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.

Students will estimate, measure and record mass in this fun, hands-on lesson.

Students will make estimations, read measuring cylinders and explore capacity/volume.

Students will continue to explore capacity/volume by adding and subtracting millilitres whilst playing a game called ‘Fill Your Bucket’.

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.

This is a summative assessment that covers the key objectives from this measurement unit.
