Step 3: Start lesson 1 and have a look around
Students will practice measuring length in inches, feet, centimeters and meters by completing a range of measuring challenges.
Students will explore perimeter and find the perimeter of different running routes.
Students will apply their knowledge of perimeters to design dinosaur enclosures that meet specific perimeter requirements.
Students will explore the formula for finding the area of rectangles and apply it to creating pools with specific areas.
Students will use their knowledge of area to create gardens that match specific areas.
Students will combine their knowledge of perimeter and area to design an alien playground.
Students will estimate, measure and record mass in this fun, hands-on lesson. They will convert between kilograms and grams using tape diagrams. Students will explore the mass of objects in your classroom using weighing scales.
Students will continue to convert between kilograms and grams and use their knowledge to add mass. They will pack a suitcase and keep track of its mass in order to stay under the airline weight limit.
Students will read measuring cylinders and explore capacity/volume, including making estimations and converting between liters and milliliters.
Students will use pour challenges to measure and convert capacity/volume with accuracy.
Students will use their measurement knowledge to solve a range of problem-solving puzzles.
Students will recap and apply the different units of measurement that they have explored during this unit. They will take part in a fun-filled ‘Measurement Olympics’.
