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.

Students will convert between millimetres, centimetres, meters and kilometres. They will find the size of interesting animals with different units of measurement.

Students will use their knowledge of the formula for finding the perimeter of 2D shapes to calculate the perimeter of compound shapes. They will use their knowledge to find the perimeter of insect enclosures.

Students will explore the formula for finding the area of rectangles and apply it to creating dance floors with specific areas.

Students will read measuring cylinders and explore capacity/volume. They will convert between millilitres and litres using division and multiplication. They will take part in a range of different pour challenges.

This lesson explores US liquid volume measurements, including gallons, quarts, pints, cups, and fluid ounces. Students will create a visual representation that shows the connection between the liquid volume measurements.

Students will convert between gallons, quarts, pints, cups and fluid ounces by playing the Scrub-A-Dub-Dub game.

Students will read mass measurement scales and convert kilograms/grams and pounds/ounces using multiplication and division. They will explore mass by weighing objects in their classroom.

Students will use their measurement knowledge to solve a range of problem-solving puzzles.

Students will investigate how to find the volume of cuboids using blocks and calculations.

This lesson involves building a cuboid robot and calculating its total volume.

Students will recap and apply the different units of measurement that they have explored during this unit. They will take part in the ‘Metric Olympics’.

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