Step 3: Start lesson 1 and have a look around
Students will practice measuring length with accuracy and converting between different units of length by completing a measurement ‘hunt’.
Students will read measuring cylinders and explore capacity/volume. They will convert between millilitres and litres using division and multiplication. They will find the liquid volume of potions.
Students will read mass measurement scales and convert kilograms to grams and vice versa using multiplication and division.
Students will apply their knowledge to problem-solving scenarios linked to distance, mass and capacity.
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 use their problem-solving skills to create pools with specific areas and compound shapes. They will use their knowledge to investigate pool areas.
This lesson will explore how the formula for finding the area of a rectangle can be used to find the area of a triangle. Students will complete a range of triangle investigations.
Students will investigate how to calculate the area and perimeter of parallelograms. They will use their knowledge to help the birds find specific properties to purchase.
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.
