Mathematics – Multi-age – Year B – Unit 3
What needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement – this unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills of measurement.

In this unit students will learn to:
- measure, record, compare and estimate a variety of attributes including length, area, volume, and mass using informal and formal units
- explore and connect mathematical measurement concepts
- apply mathematical measurement techniques to solve problems and communicate their thinking.
