In this unit – 'What needs to be measured determines the unit of measure', students are provided opportunities to:
- measure length by direct and indirect comparison
- identify and compare area and mass
- compare internal volume by filling and packing.
Representing whole number – MAO-WM-01, MAE-RWN-01, MAE-RWN-02
- Instantly name the number of objects within small collections
- Use the counting sequence of ones flexibly
- Recognise number patterns
- Connect counting and numerals to quantities
Geometric measure– MAO-WM-01, MAE-GM-01, MAE-GM-02, MAE-GM-03
Length: Use direct and indirect comparisons to decide which is longer
Two-dimensional spatial structure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-2DS-01, MAE-2DS-02
Identify and compare area
Three-dimensional spatial structure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-3DS-01, MAE-3DS-02
- Volume: Compare internal volume by filling and packing
- Volume: Compare volume by building
Non-spatial measure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-NSM-01, MAE-NSM-02
Mass: Identify and compare mass using weight
