3–6 multi-age, mathematics, Year A –Unit 10
Develop students' understanding of the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement in this sample unit.
Students are provided with opportunities to:
- measure and compare lengths of objects and locations using kilometres (Stage 3), metres, centimetres and millimetres
- identify and measure the perimeter of shapes, objects and locations
- read and represent analog and digital time.
